I lie spread out in the grass
Cool and prickly against my skin
The field of stars swims in my vision
I close my eyes to keep from falling in
And clutch the ground against the world’s spin.

I lie flat on the floor
Carpet roughness on my skin
To shut out the ceiling
I squeeze close my eyes
And feel the world spin.

I lay my head against the car window
Glass is smooth and chills my skin
Outside I see trees and fields whisk by
I am dizzy and close my eyes
But I know the world spins.
