Balloon

23 3 2
                                    

Amid a crowd, there's one balloon.

Floating

Dancing in the air.

It twirls and swirls.

Weaving and bobbing.

Standing out like the sun,

Against a stale, blue sky.

It jolts to a halt.

Rises

Then sinks.

It dodges feet, legs, arms.

But falters.

Deflating.

Growing smaller,

And smaller,

smaller

Until

It's walked on.

Torn.
