Among the first of ferris wheels
the Vienna Riesenrad has enclosed observation cars
each the size of a household dining room.
Late in the evening as we ascend
the car behind us is serving dinner
St. Stephens' Archbishop hosting his established girlfriend
white cloths with china
wait-staff and wine.
Our descent from the top of the world wheeled beneath 
a starry summer night
a cleric and his VIP.
