rubbery stretch of imagination, color: teal blue. a head of helium. convex face interspersed with a thumb-size patch of ice (the sun). teal blue sight, sees lavender grey clouds. aqua blue sky sees a gorgeous accent, to the inevitable ceiling of its height. blindingly smooth slides, and drifts--humoring the wind to stifled whistles. then the slow deflation, the sky's naming process-- a letter at a time. the ground's map promising the burden of objectified detail more and more. till a teal blue balloon got stuck to the antler of a seasoned oak tree. clumsily waving its full name in a breeze. incessantly asking: what's in a name? the little boy who let me go, had one too. what's in a name?
