A City Within The City

The fair is a world like no other. Garish colors invade the city, amazed kids cling to their parents' arms, sounds coming from all directions. An almost real world. Everything is in bad taste, but the whole is so consistent. This is the crowd, shouting, forgetfulness, willful blindness, that's life in a joyful empty. Half-closed eyes, adults are projected elsewhere, in a world that was theirs when they, too, clung to their parents' arms shared anguish and dreams acrylic color. The party in the middle of the buildings, a city within a city, another planet made of such beautiful illusions just around the corner.
