Doris L. 150 Seconds of FreedomAbove the earth. I can see for miles Farther than all the birds. The white bleached cloud Seems right above my head. I look down at my feet to see them dangling Above the dots who are supposedly people. My stomach is turning and my palms tingle I feel the beads of sweat dripping from my face. And suddenly I’m falling. Falling faster than I ever have before. I scream my lungs out As machinery flings me all over the place. I’m finally released from my death chair. As I stagger away, knees shaking. I fall to the ground in exhaustion and thanks. But in no time I am back to my feet. As the adrenaline escapes my body, I am overcome with relief. And I immediately run to the end of the line. A day at Six Flags New England. This is what I live for. [BACK TO TABLE OF CONTENTS, CLASS OF 2007 EDITION] |
