I step into line and see the large wheel.
The bright lights flash around me.
I look around and hundreds of people are walking,
It gets crowded quickly.
The bright lights flash around me.
I hand him my ticket,
It gets crowded quickly.
My feet plant on the ground.
My ticket still in the worker’s hands,
I move to the metal grate which is below me as I wait in line.
My feet plant on the ground.
I tilt my head back and the wheel’s in front of me.
The metal grate is still under my feet as I get closer.
The people in front of me get louder, they laugh.
My head tilts back and the wheel is in front of me.
I move forward and wait.
The people in front of me get louder, they laugh.
The lights get brighter and larger.
I move forward and wait.
I sit in the seat, loneliness filling the cart.
The lights get brighter and larger.
The sky is dark but I see the stars.
I’m sitting in the seat waiting, loneliness increasing.
Then I see everyone below.
I look down and hundreds of people are walking.
None of them are him.
I look down and peer at the large wheel.
