I Ride the Rollercoaster, Pt. 2

Modern life might make me seasick–

No stroll down tranquil paths is this,

But a challenge to balance so many extremes

By pushing and pulling on distant mechanisms,

Our actions, or losses, regrets

In this land of hours and instants.

What horror brands into the brain

Is soothed by a salve of time,
Only to be replaced.
