I wrote previously about the electronic implications on the written word But the smoothness of this pen upon paper has made me neutral on the subject It's insanely intoxicating when your words flow onto the paper just as they do from your mind Uninterrupted But, death has a way of bringing you back to reality A birthday, In which the birth boy has passed Twenty four red balloons, caressed gently by the wind as they are carried beautifully skyward. Red of passion Red of love Because twenty four is infinite Also is the love and the friends you left behind But we love you, I love you And we will forever follow you Upon these rising currents Like those twenty four red balloons.
