the fair grounds

the fairgrounds
in black and white.
the photo crimped at
the corners. yellowed.
a carousel
in the background
behind the scrub
brush and tall weeds.
quiet in its
place.
no time or date is
given when you turn the
picture over.
no state or town.
it's just an empty fairground,
old
and forgotten.
hardly a sadder photo
have you ever seen.
