The Balloon Man.
Balloon Man.
His orange, purple, and blue coloured balloons.
Selling them to children one at a time.
His hovering pile of helium never ran out.
Shiny,
Glossy,
Squeaky
His face popped into place, it rounded into a thin circle.
His body was pulled into a long string. He filled with He and floated away.
He sees his reflection in the shiny oval. Traveling...
Up,
Away,
High
Never to return...
---December, 2010.
