Our eyes are no longer prone
to the things
that make them water
our limbs are stronger
and our faces shine
much brighter
we've gone around
so many times
on this wonder wheel
up and down
rocking back and forth
and if
we're not laughing we're
clutching the sides
of the gondola
hanging onto life
like we've always
done before
