who did we think we were talking to
when as children we released balloons
on Sunday
And who did we actually reach.
a partially inflated balloon
having just peaked mid-thermosphere
rejoins the hopefuls.
Hopefuls who command respect and admiration
with the subversive, ever just departing
Helium-induced super-ego. 
Hopefuls with all hopes in the clouds, 
disposing of uplifting rubber spit sacks 
in other people's lawns
as a best case scenario. 
The reality, however. More absurd. 
They found You didn't they. My 
best friend.
