Wheel of Life


What a perfect day...
For a day at play..
Breezey popcorn scents...
Thrilling suspense...
Delightful..shrieking..
Teenagers seeking..
Climbing...nerve racking need..
Dropping...windswept speed..
Sheeeeer
.......peer
pressure cooker..in the sun...
As we swirl around and around
Straddling the line between
Wanting...and
Not wanting...
And around.....this colorful...world
Of amusement..(and fun...)

Suddenly I found myself...
(isn’t it interesting..?)
Next in line..
The ferris wheel...
The one that dwarfs...
everything...
Its funny..how they put those signs...
After waiting..for an hour..
......yea
Sitting rising...
Munching..
Higher
Higher...
Suddenly remembering..my
..my
ACROPHOBIA
As the...
.........trees..dissapear..
The gripping fear...
That << GRIPPPS >> you..
From dizzying head...
To tingling bottom..
..and of course..it has to stop...
and stop again..
then stop..at the
Very top..
and rock...
and ro c k...
as I vividly envision...
How it’ll feel when the basket..
comes undone..
Suddenly noticing how rusty..
the metal seems to be..
100 ft..in the air...
Making..promises to
God..(yes..I remember you..)
then mercifully...
(thank you)
Slowly...down...
As the breeze washes..
and cleanses...my skin..
And then...back up
but a funny thing happens..
The time at the top.. so much shorter..
and then..down..
and then faster...
Up...(tingle)
Down....
Up ..(tingle)
Down..
Faster..
Ahhhhhhh
Such is life..
