another poem, this one a quirky and sad one

Up and Down

by Beverly Rollwagen

I don't know anything
for sure unless I look it up,
but sometimes I can figure
things out if I write them
down. So it's up and down
all day long. It's a good life.
Better than back and forth
or in and out which I find
constraining. I have up
and down in balance and
with my mother's death

Wow, I might have to cede this contest to you! But I'll try to put up a bit more of a fight first.

I like this, how self-contained it is.
