At the Top
I don’t even know why I got in line for the damn thing.
We’ve been standing for an hour.
Our feet lifted like cinderblocks,
Right foot, left foot, right foot, left foot,
Every two hopeful minutes.
The people in front of us waddled closer and closer to the gate, the entrance, the salvation, the
DETRIMENT.
The art of peer pressure, yes, my friends were masters of the craft.
They’d convinced me that there was nothing to fear at such an inviting place.
I don’t know if I had believed them or wanted to shut them up.
I looked up.
The sign read, “10 Minutes From This Point”.
My stomach twisted, almost making its way upside down.
My stomach was a demo for what was to come.
I wasn’t a young child, but a cautious teenager.
We approached the gate.
With my friends blocked from my mind,
I had prepared myself.
“Buckle me in good!”
Oh, the climb was always the worst part they said.
Yeah, we were climbing, but this wasn’t the worst part.
Oh shit, the top.
This was the worst part.
2. I could see Ferris Wheels, roller coasters, a water park, and the track beneath me.
The cart bent over the peak like an inching inchworm.
Wind, screams, hands…dip.
Yeah, that was the worst part.
Looking back, it was the best part.
Thanks, guys.
