 Topic  Bubbles 
 Message  A friend recently challanged me to write a piece (any kind of writing) on bubbles. you know the multi-colored spheres of soap that gave so many of us joy as kids? anyway, its a lot harder than it seems ( i am currently suffering from SEVERE writer’s block) and i kinda want to see how other people would approach it. any contribution would be welcome! have at it and good luck.

 Message  Gosh... that one’s an _old_ memory. Hmmm... well, thanks for the inspiration, there. Been a while since I thought of Tamale.

It takes
the dust, in air,
sky brown, you need
no wind,
and sun, tin roofs, and up
it goes

Soaring... look at it... float
gently shining in furnace heat
red, green, blue, red

In the brown sky
the dust in mouth
the sun on back
neck cricked backwards, staring

It rises, spinning, spinning,
see it spin, droplet forming
on the underside
top is speckling, dimmer... dimmer...

Pop!
It bursts,
And now, my broth-
er’s head
is wet!
Ha, ha! Let’s blow
some more,
and fill
the air
with bubbles.
