For some strange reasons, merry-go-rounds made me laugh. Was it the sensation of hitting the wind, or the aroma of the candy stall that stayed overcrowded all the time (and mind you I had no money to buy a candy), I know not.
But hey, don't go by the brackets. I ain't poor enough to ride on the merry-go-round.
It was my fifth ride today. My pockets empty, my hunger crazy, and yet I was laughing.
And I laughed. The wires snapped, my cart flew, and I laughed, high above the planes, soaring, laughing, falling.
My world stopped. I laughed.

I love it! You went flying high in the wind laughing. They are just plain fun!
