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

   
moments that last only for a second  
deciding the fate of many | experiencing the fate of some
balancing on the edge of
good + evil
what is happiness to one is not for another
an old man sits slumped over watching the souls he will soon forget
memory
