Tradition of madness
September State Fair
Come one and all
Carnies entice
Scents of secret comfort food
funnel cakes turkey legs
sno-cone delight indian taco
Sun sears tank top
shoulders Sweat d

a trail of droplets wishing for
a gust of wind
Lovers link fingers oblivious to others
a roller coaster of hormones
screams thrills
arms wave fingers grip
Ferris Wheel shadows
the fantasy land
promising a view of carnival
crazines carousel of kids
Money leaking from
limited sources caving to the
begging and bantering
games tickets rides
I need more
Joints jerk and ache
pushing through lines of
strangers going the wrong way
Tummy

Mommy
Hours of memories
stored within Sensory overload
Now where'd we park the car
