4 Balloons

Confidently I walked toward nothing

Well actually I was going to the thrift store

But my head was up high

Almost up there with my favorite things

The playful clouds

At first I ignored my surrounding

Then I remembered

“I have to write a poem”

At that moment the world around me

Became real

The trees became humans

The houses elephants

The wind airplanes

And I kept on walking

As they followed me along

Tied to one elephant were 4 balloons

Reminding me I was really

Truthfully

Honestly

Alone

But I kept on walking,

Anyway
