Dreamland

The carousel slows to a stop,

circular light bulbs flickering.

Light to

Nothing,

to light.

An instant so minute

it drags on.

-

The roller coaster loops,

traversing into another dimension.

A world in between,

almost, not quite

escaping 

gravity. Reality

is as far as we go.

-

Cotton candy clouds are made

by going in circles.

Accumulating large clumps

from nearly invisible wisps.

Maybe that is why

they disappear on first taste

leaving only sticky fingers.
