if james
and his giant
peach can fly
— so can my
bubblicious
balloon
mind you
it’s no ordinary
flying contraption
— nothing fancyno steam-punk
flyers built
with massive
cogs
no large
fabric floating
oubliette in the sky
all i have is this half
package of gum
let’s see
if i can blow
a bubble large
enough to allow
my body to relax
as my neck angles
upward while
i take in all the
avionic
sights
my arms
lay lose
by my side
as i simply
hover inside
of the night sky
not noticing
the stars
but the faint
window
nightlights
from below
our personal
milky way
concealed
on the earth
perceptive
& depth
are so worth
the exploration
