#Inktober2019:Dizzy

   The Earth In Rotation

Once, just once, I traveled
on a spinning, gyrating  
amusement park ride
I traveled from a stable earth
to one that spun, dipped,
shuddered, and catapulted
me into a limbo where I
lost contact with the ground—
where my limbs became 
appendages I no longer
recognized, where my insides
jiggled and lurched from side 
to side, where my head 
began to spin —slowly at first 
and then began to quicken
At the end, unbuckled and released
my legs wobbled, 
and the world still spun
