the carnival up in about an hour
in the abandoned mall
parking lot.
are these
the rides you want
to put
your two year old kid on?
a thousand pieces of metal
strewn
together in the dead
night
by circus people.
and now
you hand your kid to someone
with no teeth,
covered in
tattoos, and wearing a shirt
saying that
Satan is alright.
what could go wrong
you think, as the man
with one eye turns
to you
and says, don't worry dad,
we buckled him in
real tight.
