Sensory Overload

Tradition of madness
    September State Fair
Come one and all
            Carnies entice

    Scents
of cellulite producing
    comfort food
            funnel cakes
                  turkey legs
                      sno-cone delight

Sun sears
  tank top shoulders
Sweat

          b
          l
            e
              s
  a trail of droplets
wishing for
  a gust of wind

Lovers
  link fingers
oblivious to others
  a roller coaster of hormones
        screams      thrills
arms wave
        fingers grip

Ferris Wheel
    shadows
the fantasy land
promising a view
        of
carnival craziness
      carousel of kids

Money leaking
    from
          limited sources
caving to
    begging and bantering
                  games
                        tickets
                            rides
                      I need more

Joints jerk and ache
  pushing through
            lines
of strangers
    going the wrong way

Hours of memories
stored within
          Sensory overload
