Coasters

Sunglassed eyes smile at me:
"Are ya nervous yet?"
Manly mouth utters: "Not at all."
Mind, thinking through a wave of terror says:
"Oh my, I'm gonna DIE!!"

Coaster moves to top.
Click, click, click....
Pause like forever.
Then, Oh my, I'm gonna DIE!!
Mind to mouth:
"Don't scream! Don’t scream, man!"
Mouth to mind:
"Aghhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

Coaster stops, back at the start.
Sunglassed eyes smile at me:
"Well, how'd ya like it?"
Manly mouth utters: "Lets do ten more!"
Mind sighs: "Not on your life, sister!"
