out of body experience

i walked around in a stupor staring at the orgy of lights all around me. i couldn't actually stop watching them. then i stopped in front of the carousel. the horses bobbed up and down and the music was tainted and faint and the lights were 75% working, but i couldn't tear myself away from them. maybe there was some mind-altering drug in my funnel-cake, or maybe there is some charm to the greatest carvival on ea.(the "rth" wasn't working properly, ironically) all these dredged people gather for rigged games, grease-dripping food, and rides (which are only fearsome because the rider is never sure if he's going to live to get off the ride or if the restraint and the bolts will stay together by some stroke of luck). everyone falls into this hypnotized high and happly give away their hard-earned money just to take part. i was fascinated and i was really lost in the swirl. i think aubrie and kathleen had to come find me and make me start walking again because i would be simply watching with glazed eyes the incredible about of flux taking place around me. i'm still trying to take it all in.
