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

 
mechanical animals tossing people about

jerking and throwing | spinning and undulating

faster..faster...FASTER voices cry from behind the blurred faces

the hand of the operator pushes upward on the gear

if only for a moment longer, appeasing the crowd within

   
a hand releases | a hand grasps  
a couple glance at one another in laughter
the ride pushes them together, squished
the ride pulls them apart , the game continues
a slowing wind rushes across their hands
the ride stops , the game stops
blushed cheeks and tangled hair
the couple relives past lives they have long since forgotten
return
