i'm nothing if not the bones of a half-brained philosophy,
a rickety skeleton clacking the hot pavement in someone else's head.
... feeling around for my guts and stuff.

life at the theme park:
the day is spent more or less waiting in line for 30-second rides. The rides are many things.
the little ones are sometimes forced aboard. The older ones can choose, but some will choose to miss out.
if you choose to sit one out, you will be doing nothing for longer than the people who ride.
not every ride is worth the wait.
AND, while it is the rides that keep you at the park, it is the time in between that will dictate the overall feel of the day.
keep your friends close.

aslo:
-water rides are more fun if you're not trying to stay dry.
-the less power a person has, the more irrational he will be when that power is threatened.
-sometimes it is okay to hug a stranger.
-bumper cars deserve a strategy.

this metaphor can be fleshed out more by comparing what people do in line. i don't know how "thinking about how theme parks are a metaphor for life" fits into the metaphor.

words boil up to the surface.
each idea pops and sinks.

i think you only hear my vowels.
