Commuting Downers

What purpose does an escalator fill
that’s going down? It contradicts the name.
Do planners short on brains and long on will
mistake a walker’s needs, and think the same
degree of aid is needed in descent
as in a laden rise through gravity?
Was it a sacrifice to symmetry?
I’m tired. This seems unintelligent.
