the carnival is full of people

laughing, screaming, riding mechanical animals

flashes of colored light beam across the night sky

smells fill the air

dust rises and falls along the pathways

 
pathways of footprints leading in every direction
a small boy stops and bends down to look at the feet of passing people
his head turns sideways as
he imagines the world turning on it's side
 
 
direction is lost
chaos is invited in
a young carnival worker glances at
the gilded, sparkling girls walking by
his senses made weak by the smell of their perfume
he spins the riders one more time as they cheer, a moment to enjoy
the marvelous sites around him
begin again
