WILD CARD #1 - Throwback: Any unused topic from last year
Which will be: Riding a Ferris Wheel
4 - Ruba'i
Cables and Girders
High above the carnie's stands
We sit together holding hands
Take in Brooklyn's lofty views
Think vaguely of our altered plans
And how we rarely get to choose
Who it is we mutually use
As we ascend around once more
Greeted by the ocean's hues
And bathers lying on it's shore
Which, truthfully, are all ignored
I swiftly kiss you on the lips
We slow to stop as girders roar
You kiss me back, a tongue is slipped
Both passionate and grabbing hips
The axle spins, the cables bend
The wheel revolves, our basket dips
And swings as we start to descend
We bring our fondling to an end
Retreat to edges of the seat
Concerned our capsule will upend
Staring at eachother's feet
We camouflage our shared conceit
And wait for one of us to speak
Preoccupied with common heat
Our opened door breaks the mystique
Getting out, my knees are weak
I stretch my toes in Coney sands
We once again are holding hands
"After this let's see the freaks."
Another poem coming here tomorrow...
In the meantime, check out April 7th's poem from last year (also a WILD CARD, coincidentally).
