let go of the string and watch another balloon
get so high so soon
people might see it from miles away
and it might brighten their day
maybe it will burst on the beak of a crow
get rapped around its face and kill the thing slowly
you just never know
thinking while taking in a breath of fresh air
could build a treehouse up there
all the joy that it could bring to little offspring
as they play and the sing
someday when it rains and wood will get wet
children will slip and fall to their death
its a gamble at best
so I cant put any merit on the things we do
and pretend there's use in being useless too
from a healthy indifference to caring too much
should I wear that hat? should I eat that lunch?
