Purple Balloon

this balloon needs me...
needs all of my air... 

I'll squeeze myself into
it...

...to blow it up...to strangle
it...to release it skyward...

I'll stand and watch it float by...

...balloon bobs through the wind...

through the air...the air I breathe...

this balloon it carries me higher

purple balloon has so much fun...

purple balloon floats my lungs...

this purple balloon this air I breathe
this purple balloon now free...
