Thinkin'

I remember spinning and spinning and spinning as a child
Arms outstretched either side
In exuberance
In pleasure
In excitement
Head thrown back
Dizzy with delight

Now it just makes me feel sick

I think it happened about the time
diving to the bottom of the pool
began to hurt my ears
and give me a headache

I don’t think I grew up
I think my inner ear malfunctioned

    that's exactly what i am blaming my dislike of funfair rides on. up until about 14 i was perfectly fine with them, then one day?
    shazzam!

    just the thought of them made me break out in a cold, clammy sweat.

  2. I would infer that your ear deteriorated with age, But it is great to keep being a child and enjoy to play.
