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 | |
