Circles Poem
Circles are fun as a little kid and even more so in a wheelchair.
Faster and faster.
Round and round.
Gravity made insignificant outside of the core.
Only able to handle the spin with a flexible mind.
A kind of blurry gracefulness.
***
As an adult I do a different kind of circle with or without the wheelchair.
Round and round.
Faster and faster.
Going around for the same reason.
Bringing my world inside in a way that lets me move.
Blurring out the pain.
***
It is a great comfort to me.
The way I spin through life.
The only problem is I seem to get motion sickness now.
Too fast or too long and ignoring the outside world as I spin.
I just hope I never spin out of control
For I have spun for so long I can no longer find the breaks.
