The Good Parking Lot Carnival

Balance.
There are somethings you miss out on that others get to enjoy.
Then again, you see and do things that others don't get to.

Youth.
The good thing about being young is the ability to enjoy without prejudice.
The bad thing about being young is the absence of the danger gene.

Events.
Carnival set up in an open lot becomes a community gathering.
People and metal conglomerations previously unimagined.

Freedom.
Cheap entertainment, traveling by moving and not moving.
Confidence in the belief that nothing bad could happen to steel.

Loss.
Grown up worries about a drunk carny forgetting to tighten looseness.
Prisoners of our own minds, even lawyers end up in old folk's homes.
