High Heeled Feris Wheel Riders

High heeled Feris wheel riders,
cackling as if their tails were afire. 
Red mouths agape-screeching at stars
round and round spinning to black.
Rouged rough riders finally seduced, 
stumbling from buckets into the sequined night...
Bargain beer freely flowing 
cut-offs and halter tops glowing. 
Everyone tongue becoming a knife in a side show...
The tacky and raspy the crooked floor games,
Strong man lifting balloons above a puffy sad face,
Nothing is classy but the two-headed snake.

Home from the pink, dill pickled fog
somewhere between the loins and the brain
the Ferris wheel suddenly stopped.
