Bubbles

Bouncing on bubbles is my method for reaching the sky.
Burst a bubble and its energy will amplify
what always existed but you could not perceive.

Because a bubble is a potential step to a place
more remote than the plane where you exist.
But a bubble that doesn't burst stagnates in a repeating circle.
It lingers on its private plane of existence feeding off of its
own static energy in a vicious self-fulfilling cycle.

So spring from sphere to ascending sphere smashing
the bubbles. Release the energy to amplify
what occurs which you would not otherwise see.

hello operator
i'm trying to get through
to the sun, insides blue &
there's no answer, what to do
i'll know soon
when I get to the moon
i travel by hot-air balloon
and chaotic clouds crash the brain
i know now i'll never be the same.
