The Ferris Wheel
by

The ferris wheel
oh how it was always my favorite ride
how high up it took me
high enough to see all the little cars in the lot
far enough to lose you in the crowd
then back down
mid way
just enough to smell the popcorn
the cotton candy
to hear the crowd
but no one in particular
then to earth again
and you snap my picture
and we laugh
next time we will ride that together
ok love?
and he responds
it was not my doing to put you on that ride
without me.
