On Balloons and the Weightless
by James Earl Adams III
Copyright © VainApocalypse, 2009
Where comes this reckoning of bated grip,
this fierce fraud against my trusting ties?
It comes at a verdant acreage tip,
where azure skies beckon my prize, "rise, rise."
Tail past my hold, an adieu from my eyes,
That cherished, shrinking, cherry speck quit me
for a bed, brighter and blue, where she now lies.
Not tree nor plea could block her rising free, you see.
Goodbye, sweet cherry speck! Goodbye to thee!
Be not bound; be so weightless as your word.
Quit troth and tie, and quit me for that sky.
Goodbye to thee. Rise to what you've preferred.
Quit the bittered; ascend this afternoon.
Be that weightless; be that balloon.

If you are reading this then this warning is for you. Every word you read of this is useless fine print is another second off your life. Don't you have other things to do? Is your life so empty that you honestly can't think of a better way to spend these moments? Or are you so impressed with authority that you give respect and credence to all who claim it? Do you read everything you're supposed to read? Do you think everything you're supposed to think? Buy what you're told you should want? Get out of your apartment. Meet a member of the opposite sex. Stop the excessive shopping and masturbation. Quit your job. Start a fight. Prove you're alive. If you don't claim your humanity you will become a statistic. You have been warned... - Tyler Durden, Fight Club
