Great America 12/09/2007

rollercoaster, the wooden type
square feeling turns,
smooth rise and falls
engineered without computers

which is the proper exhilaration mode
knowing death is a possible outcome
or just worrying about the thrill of the ride
I would rather not have to worry at all about the structure
the foundation

is rapprochement possible after so much is known
known about the rusting bolts,
the rotting, aging wood
painting it white fools no one,
or at least not me

Trust and forgiveness
two keys to a fun ride
an experince you want over and over again
if it was set up for the week by a guy named Rolf
skip it, eat some wings, and move on.


rapprochement \rap-rosh-MAWN\, noun:
The establishment or state of cordial relations.
