Carnival (1998)
By James Moats in Asheville, NC
this silence is killing meit's driving me crazy
let's talk about nothing at all
sometimes life feels like a day
at a carnival
where the rides are held together
with rubber bands
and the drivers of
the bumper cars are covered in
shaving cream
sunglasses chain wallet
everything you need to be
a carnie
let's talk seriously
i want to know your thoughts about anything
i wish that you would talk to me
with the laughter in the distance
you can tell neil diamond is in town
how could he ever stay away
from such a culturally diverse place
which side of the social reef
do you think they would be
secure on shore or floating out to sea
and where would the carnies be
