Oaks Amusement Park

incomplete dystopia

 memories scattered around mixed in with the large oak leaves.

the trees gnarled and twisted having looked after themselves for years.

the park itself is similar with lots of ecclectic oddities scattered around.

 large yellow sign post standing in an inorganic chernobyle faith.

 waiting for rust or for the bumper cars to begin to light up and
 move smashing against one another. 

 but it's to late for that, so they just sit there each
 in their distinct directions

 they seem as dead electrons around a strange archaic
 nucleus of dandilions and cracked cement.
