You are about to be transported to the State fair, circa summer, circa a ferris wheel and other rides. Like the idea? Why not. It's almost Groundhog's Day, when all is topsy-turvy and the world gets to take a break from the obvious. Why can't we have summer in winter if we like? It's a perfectly cinematic prerogative. Enjoy the views and commentaries, at blog.amynelsonhahn.info
Fair ground -- revisited
In the pall of winter
we look to candy colors
of our summer fair with
hungering despite --
how can it seem so far away,
the spun sugar and licorice
spokes flying high like trapezes
seeming so many miles
from the February of our mind's eyes,
and it is hard to wait --
as it is for a child in line,
hoping to clamber high in the sky,
or to whirl fast
as the day spins past
and the lights dim for only a time.
