Amusement Park

In falling worlds I shudder, Twitch and grimace Shoved first this way, and that By fate, by momentum Twisting and turning in vain attempt To oppose gravity; A tiny sliver of molecules Holds me in open space Defying now sky, now ocean The stars like distant beacons Unaware of my flight beneath them My foot cannot reach firm ground Dizzy, I reach out in the whirlpool Trying to take hold of the air, It's thinness unyielding as ever Showers of exploding fireworks Sparkle through the brains corridors As it crowds the skulls finite dimensions. Then welcoming silence and stillness: The ride has ended; but not yet this life.
