The Bubble

I saw the bubble,
                up
rising            


above the market stalls,
the mingling people,
 
                up
I followed it
as it wobbled, the light
licking its silvery surface.

For a few seconds
I forgot all my worries,
my lack of money, my
lack of a love-life, my
lack of inspiration, my
                            my,
                        my,   
                    my,
my, 

Then it popped.
