ninanevermoreToday at the stop light, I was watching the Carney and the Ferris Wheel again. I see it slowing, but I'm not sure who's getting off anytime soon. I don't like this. It makes me afraid.
Death I can deal with, provided it's under the right circumstances. If a person has lived a long life and is ready to go, than it's all well and good. But death has never been picky, and not everyone gets their money's worth on this ride. The Carney is temperamental. Some people he lets stay on the ride it seems like forever, and they make the circle over and over again. Some people get only a rotation or two. Some don't even get that much.
The Carney has a scythe tattooed on his right arm, and a skull tattooed on the other. Above the tat of the scythe, his cigarettes are rolled up in the sleeve of his t-shirt. I think he smokes Dorals, but I can't be sure. Across the knuckles on his right hand. it says L I F E, on his left it says D E A TH. Sometimes, when he catches me looking at his tats (he has a lot of them), he winks at me, and I just wish he wouldn't.
A large number of people are about to get off the ride, before they have gotten their money's worth. I hate premonitions. I hope I don't know any of riders who disembark. I'm weary enough as it is theses days.
