The prompt for Sunday Scribblings this week is sensation.
Facebook status
"I can now safely say I've thrown up at the show"
September in Adelaide
The season for seekers of sensation
Teens hit the showgrounds in force
Seek bigger, faster, higher
Push minds and bodies to limits
and past
My children return from a busy day
Full of stories
to match many others
before and after
Names have changed
The SupaLoop is now the Hangover
Screams and vomit are still the same
I imagine knowing looks
perhaps some judgments too
My daughter's dash to the bin
followed by a grab for her phone
and the amassing of a collection of 'likes'

I can smell the candy-floss..amongst the body fluids..it is so exciting when you are young..the lights and being out late..it's strange to think that the fair is here this weekend too..must be a country-wide time of year for churning your stomach in the air..Jae
ReplyDeleteI'm always a fan of the rite of passage--the activities that every age must go through and experience, regardless of whether negative or positive.
ReplyDeleteMakes me remember the first time I was allowed to go to the Fields Days with friends, no parents allowed. I let go after the "Tilt-a-Whirl," thereafter known as the "Twirl-n-Puke!" But what a time: We held each other's hair up and the appropriate "lose your cookies" moment, laughed our asses off. Thanks, Kylie - as summer wanes, these memories are all the sweeter (and grosser!). Amy http://sharplittlepencil.wordpress.com/2011/09/17/walk-talk-persevere-sunday-wordle/
