Operator
 

Sometimes you have to balance
the folks, sometimes it's full.
When people are farther apart
they get the truest feeling
of the ride. Yo Yo, SkyDiver,
Chaos, they're all the same.
They are designed to lift
the people out of this world
and give them a small helping
of difference, a quick life
they've never felt before.
From here, I see it all.
Sometimes money falls
like rain from heaven
stained the color of whatever
light is burning at the time.
Sometimes skirts fly up
and the girls don't have a chance
to worry what I get to see.
I take them forward
into the new world.
I wait as they change
into circles of color, then
reassemble as we slow down.
They're always amazed, always
embarrassed by what's been revealed,
what they've become.
