I push another down

To boost me up

It fades into the Below 

As one more magically appears in the Above

All in perfect timing.

No matter how many I move to the Below,

Another just comes Above me again.

Breaking my body down with Machiavellian efficiency - 

An absurdist nightmare that would put a blush on Sisyphus.

A never ending exercise in futility…

The Stairmaster of judging people as Above or Below me.
