LJI Week 10: Turning 12, on Bumper Cars
This is my entry for LJ Idol. The topic this week is "craic," an Irish term which means "an enjoyable social activity, a good time; great company and lively conversation."
Turning 12, on Bumper Cars
Spinning blissfully, the five boys
each turn inward. As if with one mind,
they stare at one another in silent
communion. Their elongated legs
crooked to reach the pedals, they gaze
at one another. Paused,
for just this moment --
then someone releases a primal
yawp. They whirl furiously onward,
bumping collegially, almost
apologetically, as they
expand ever outward.
In honor of KFP, who turned 12 this week, having a rip-roaring good time with friends at an indoor fun center.
