F.U.N............

The searing hot sun is right above me.
While the trees seem to grow in size.
The birds have an ethereal presence that makes it all seems like a ploy.
The rides are so amazing that I want to weep for joy.
The most tempting of all the food stands
They tempt me into eating food i would normally never eat.
But it seems the more I resist,the hungrier I feel.
Is this a trap?

I hear the snap of broken twigs under my feet and the sound of a train's whistle.
The birds chirp in alarm as the trees sway side to side from the wind.
Kids squeal as the train comes to a complete halt.
There is a stampede of little feet and screams from the kids all around me.
They all seem to want to ride the train.


From inside the ride the kids wave and blow kisses to everyone outside.
The people around me laugh and wave to the children
As the kids start to wave and throw kisses into the crowd.
The ride comes to a complete halt.


Questions I do not know the answers to flash through my head.
Whose destiny has this ride changed?
What strange man or woman once took refuge in it?
Those questions may remain unanswered by even the smartest genius.


I finally realize that these rides are my secret place.
where i can be myself .
where no one is left out.
And everyone can have fun fun fun............
