This Carnival

James Moats - 04/27/2007

I only have a dollar
and the ferris wheel
is all you have to offer.

Turn it up,
push that lever
all the way forward.

Make it a thrill ride.
Make it so all I can do
is hang on.
Round and round
this carnival.

Rusted gate
to moonlit sky.
Round and round
this carnival;

my life.
