Wheel sitting
without moving in
a patient reverie
of things
that have transpired here
in the past. This
is a Carnival,
A Carnival of Rust,
of lust, of life, of
time lost in
A void. Nothing.
This is my
past and
my future,
slow. It creaks.
This is life, this is
lust, this
is love.
And the coaster
coasts
rails groaning in
support of its tread
and the
melancholy love of
two machines.
Nearby hisses one
lonely cotton candy stand,
its Point lost
to this, this
Carnival of Rust.
Perhaps it feeds a
History
a mass we
will never know.
And the Carnival,
This Carnival of Rust
knows.
