Rather than a tether, forever tied to the cold, hard concrete,
(as is usually the case)
you are a string.
A string, mind you, attached to a balloon.
(perhaps a red one)
Yeah, you’re a string that’s attached to a balloon.
And, you see, this balloon, is adrift,
(not floating at random, but maybe it is)
it lifts us higher and higher into the stratosphere.
This may not be clever, no,
(I’m fairly certain that it isn’t)
but unlike those luftballons, there’s just one--
and only one.
