I rode The Cyclone with the other kids in the choir, and that's when the accident happened
We were at the top of the loop, when the rollercoaster made this kind of screaming metal sound
Sparks were shooting all over the place
And then the screaming and the sparks just stopped
And there was like this weightlessness
My heart jumped a gazillion beats a second, but I didn't scream like the other kids, no
I was just soaking it all in
'Cause on a certain level, it was so rad
Sailing through the air upside down, you could see all the other rides, and it was like
Something unlocked in me
My heart just welled out with all this love for everything
Images and all this feeling flooded into me like
Like climbing back into my bed in the morning and feeling the heat left over from my body
Hanging upside down from the monkey bars 'til my head starts to tingle
Smelling Jiffy markers
Listening to music and dancing around my room before going out to a party
And pretending I'm going to have the perfect time
Finishing an essay, undoing a knot, pizza night, Halloween
Watching my baby brother dance naked to ABBA
Being in the choir at the height of the Hallelujah chorus and feeling all the voices rattling my bones
I started laughing like a crazy person, giddy with endorphins
It was all dancing leprechauns and rainbows and unicorns
Streams of chocolate, whirling rides, flashing lights
There's no shame in loving my small town
The only good things that happened to me happened in Uranium
It took a horrible accident for me to realize how goddamn wonderful everything is
