View From The Roller Coaster



I see people dancing on roofs
To the birds’ symphony
Picking at their oranges
To escape the monotony
Hush up the cacophony
Blot out the misery

Running away and towards to
The ever-constant fete
This machine’s unpredictable
Although the path’s so straight
And we must dictate
Each choice roughly translates

Kissing in rising water and fighting
On the dry, shrinking land
Crashing cars for excitement
Playing dodge ball with sardine cans
Because this is the fall of man
No return to where it began

Mutually killing to share the pain
Of what they mean to the other
Drowning themselves in the paint
To leave this world in color
A thousand rainbowed lovers
Realizing the ride is over
