everything spins
out of control...
even us...

thank you rob and thomas for your input.
as always inspiration from hungary and the moon.

carousel

"carousel"

everything spins
out of control

i mean

far out of reach
the world keeps
spinnng on

i keep
thinking about
how everything
s
p


i


n

s
it's re all y
out of
proportion ?

i think it's
scary -- and

when you
spin so fast
everything is
blurred and

then even
the stars are
wrong, incorrect

and when
one is two
and right is
wrong

where are we?

on a spinning
top called
planet no less

confusing i think
maybe we should
stop -- ?

something

then it'd be
"out of balance"
don't ask

i don't know

all i know
is that time
is now

and spinning
is forever
while i write
this on a
spinning top

in the light
of a crazy
man's smile
from far away.

this is great! life is a carousel....I like the way you have written this, the way you have put it together:)
I guess we just have to hold on to this carousel of life, even if it is tempting to let go and fly away to the moon...;)

SPIN SPIN SPIN...
I loved this one because before I read this poem I didnt like it when it goes around in a carousel, but now you made me see the things in another perspective...
Thank you for a good poem here Zachary!!
Regards from Sweden and me :)
