State fair road trip
Look at all the things to do
One ride speaks to me

Centripetal force
Only way we can get close
Let’s only ride this

My Everest peak
There’d be nothing greater than
Saying I love you

But desire comes short
Of reciprocation here
Your eye slides away

Two very dear friends
Come together like scissors
Joined they cut me out

Though it hurts like hell
I choose to hold them blameless
Malice cannot be

Heartfelt matters trump
Care, when discovered misplaced
It’s a human thing

I will know their joy
Someday soon, in its own time
Love will be revealed

So I travel on
To other lands to find my
Kilimanjaro.
