Minimalist Portraits - 2. 2: What you didn't say after the amusement park

What you didn’t say after the amusement park

 

It threw you up and down, you screamed up there

And came down laughing

 

Laughing, you said, because you never were

Thrust so high except in the drag of

Safe elevators up dreary offices and

Drearier apartment blocks

 

Screaming, I infer, because you were so foreign with your wings

That you forgot flight
