New Brighton Big Dipper

[ChrisGeorge]

Wasn't the big dipper at New Brighton a figure of 8? Here are some of the other attractions.

Hi Ged

Inspired by the photograph you posted.

Nothing to Hide

The couple neck high
on a rickety ferris wheel
above the muddy beach,
the forsaken fairground;

no one else to brave
the Tunnel of Love, gamble
a shot for a Valentine bear.
The gondola sways

in the New Brighton breeze,
lips, tongues, hands, swarm:
intrepid explorers, for
a lifetime or just now,

dangling in mid-air.
