cauliflower balloons inflate from chemically altered exhaust. upon deflation, they release clarification; they retain alterations. cooked from breathing deep, bruised of industrial abuse, cauliflower balloons are served to us with scents of rancid meat. we are not unfamiliar to the machines of degradation. appreciation is passed at the table alongside salt and gravy. we are our makers and creators, not in need of names or forms. we are not unfamiliar to ourselves but our ignorance blinds our lungs. inflators of the inflated fill our plates to serve themselves, forgetting somehow, who it is that will somehow serve their will. deflators remain the servants, eventually becoming the served remember to hold your breath because it is all you have.

cauliflower balloons and biscuits

this is about air quality. industries are allowed to produce an insane amount of airborne toxins that fall within government regulations, however, the effects on humanity and the general environment lay immeasurable by design so as to allow economic stability. i'd rather we have a healthy population and environment than a big house and healthy bank account.
