"Four snakes gliding up and down a hollow for no purpose that I could see -- not to eat, not for love, but only gliding."

These are the escalators to my office building.



You'll notice that -- at the time the picture was taken -- the escalator to the right goes up, and the escalator to the left goes down.

This morning:
Left escalator: up.
Right escalator: down.

This happens multiple times a week. And sometimes the escalators don't move at all.

So maybe we're not snakes; and we're on an escalator, not a "hollow," but we appear to just be gliding up and down for some unknown reason. I wonder: are we really just an experiment, amusing some mad-escalator-scientist?

That is so weird, why would they change the direction???
