roller coaster
click...click...click
i can only see the sky above as my roller-coaster car makes its way slowly up the first climb...
words are out there. they can't be taken back - not that you would want to - but they can't if you did. honest thoughts, silly innuendo, casual flirtations, conversations revealing the core. it's all out there now, hanging like a sheet on the clothesline - or saved in ones and zeros.
something stirred. parallel universes shifted. emotions altered and now there's a sense of responsilibity. hearts are fragile.
instead of being the hunter, now i am hunted. hunted by a man-eating bobcat that has been caged too long. but i've spent time in the circus. i have my whip and my chair. i can tame this beast.

past worlds collided with the present. states turned to ice, to water and to ice again. which ever property this hydrogen and oxygen take, that growing inner 'thing' is absorbing it all.

my running shoes are in the corner. well used, many miles logged. often slipped and fell along the way. sometimes stopped long enough to catch breath. but those shoes would get restless and start running again. maybe this time they'll jog. but that god damn bobcat better be careful because they are faster than he is.

exchange the candles and peanut butter.

my roller coaster car is coming to the top of the climb. i raise my hands and prepare myself for the freefall.
