What is opposite of a see saw

If we don’t go up and down would

Forward and backward suit our

Need for movement in a

Satisfactory

Way or would we

Want to spin

Circle

Like?

There

Also

Is action

Which moves us side

To side jerking our

Necks unpleasantly which

Curbs my curiosity

And stops me from wanting to know

What is opposite of a see saw.

For those interested, a nonet is a 9 line poem consisting of specific descending syllable counts per line. The first line has 9 syllables, the second has 8 and so on. In the poem above, the first stanza is the true nonet. The second stanza is a mirror which counts back up. That one is just for fun.
