when i was 22, Europe.
we took the night train
from Venice (Italy) to Vienna (Austria)
just for the giant ferris wheel.
reached there at 6.30am
and waited till the amusement park opened.
there were only 6 of us on the wheel.
the attendent amused us
by spinning each of our capsules
till we screamed.
we spinned as the wheel moves.
we catch the train to Luzern (Switzerland)
after that.
when i was 30, Genting, indoor amusment park.
i bought a whole day pass.
when i am not at the casinos or eating,
i sat on the ferris wheel.
for countless rounds.
tonight, the big field in the heartland.
i illegally-parked my car,
walked onto the muddy field,
paid $7.50 for the ride.
the air was cool,
the moon was close by and bright,
the stars were not there though.
i thought more about today's ride.
finally i'm on it.
no more roller coasters,
they are so passe.
your message came in the right time.
we should not be on the roller coasters
anymore.
there were no stars,
but there were your words.
thankyou.
