Salty, vinegar, french fries in the park. Little roller coasters for little hearts, beating after dark. Fun houses, haunted ones too, mysterious and big. I'm standing there, so small, frail like a twig. Gold fish trapped in little bowls; living prizes. I'm afraid of the looming clowns with their disguises. Mom's hand covering mine, candy apple in the other, Idora Park, an autumn night, and my mother.
