Zero Gravity Memory Poem
I
waited in line at the ticket booth
to
buy five tickets for the zero gravity.
The
ticket worker asked me," how many tickets?"
I
held up five fingers,
he
unrolled five tickets
and
dispensed them to me.
"
thank you," I said to him.
than
I stood by the ride
it
was like a green spin top
watched
it it was like green
irish
spinning top. Than I
remembered
that there was
a
ride similar back in the 90's
when
I was a little kid about seven.
I
asked my brother matt
a
young teen at the time,
"
What is that ride called Matteo?"
"
The graviton," Matt answered.
"What
is it like can I go on it?" a young seven year old
asked.
"
It closes around you its in the dark
and
it spins and makes you dizzy."
"
ooh I wanna go on it!" I said to him all excited.
"
No you don't want to go on it," Matt told me.
I
snapped back into reality
walked
onto the ride as i
approached
I saw people
exit
the ride.
It
was so worth waiting and
watching
people scream for
joy
and in terror but rides
are
like that when you hear
screams
its the joy of rides
at
work.
I
entered the green spinning
top,
and remembered, I first
went
on this in IL. It was
the
same exact one. Remembered
what
my brother had told me but only
difference.
It didn't close in but than
decided
its probably just another
version
didn't hold it against him.
Fell
in love with it, I think
at
the time I probably wouldn't
liked
it cause I would definitely
would
cry. But now that I am older
and
have more experience with
rides
I love it! in 2006 it was
brought
back to the Old fashion
days
in Fruit-port than after
that
it was at the coast guard
festival
carnival. It was like God
was
smiling and decided to
give
me a blessing in a attraction
form.
I
entered the ride
looked
around nothing
but
walls surrounded
me
and picked out
a
spot to stand in.
there
was a strap and
I
secured myself.
Than
I felt a thrill
shock
through me,
it
was exciting to have
this
ride in Grand Haven.
It
spun slow at first
to
go slow than it
quickly
picked up.
Let
out a scream
it
was like electricity
sped
inside of my body.
I've
tried to move my
arms,
legs, neck
and
hands. Big mistake,
cause
the gs held them down
like
a wrestler would pin his
apponnent
only it was more
of
a forced position.
my
head, neck
arms
and legs
throbbed
in pain,
after
a while I've
learned
that its
best
not to move
anything.
I found
out
the obvious way.
Now
I laugh it off.
I
walked off of the
ride,
the first time
my
vision blurred
couldn't
see a thing
but
after a while I got
used
to it.
"
Where's the exit?
I
can't see." I
remembered
me saying.
I
wasn't sick I just lost
sight,
I had a friend with
me
to lean on for help.
Now
I no longer
am
blinded I think
it
was new to me
so
I reacted in that
way.
I love it now
its
more of a natural
of
a natural way to
get
high.
I
got off the ride
and
asked my parents
during
coast guard festival.
Saw
a few officers
and
thought," Oh great
they
are here hope they
don'y
arrest me cause I
am
not walking in a straight
line,"
Mom
said," you're fine,"
If
they asked me I'd
say,"
just got off
of
the zero gravity,"
about
to get a chocolate
chunk,
bye officers, keep
up
the great work,"
