VERTIGO






IT IS LIKE

Standing on

A carousel going


Backwards,

Moving sometimes

Fast, sometimes


Slow, but never

Stopping so I

Can step off.


When I move, I

Move faster,

Hoping momentum will


Keep me from falling,

Backward, sideways.

This instability,


This imbalance

Shrinks the world

To the next step,


Then the next:

I refuse to

Fall.
