dizzy

I can hardly look at a ferris
wheel these days
without getting dizzy
and holding on
to the top of some nearby kid
licking a cone
of cotton candy.
this makes him scream,
and I stumble towards
the railing
to keep my balance.
the world is getting
harder and harder
to stand on, as old
age approaches. sometimes
the moon looks like
it might fly off it's hinges
and strike me.
