When I first saw this tweet, I was like "huh"?
...since it showed up in my in-box before I'd seen what it was responding to:
At any rate, I'm now saying "hmmmm..."
not longer
but stronger
and stranger
see how what
you want to inhale
sits just a letter
or two
or three
apart from what
your mouth
first stretched
toward drawing in
not every balloon
can glide toward escape
not every breath
will suffice for anchor
but these are not
reasons enough
to abandon the study
of possible ways
to stay afloat

(Balloon flower about to bloom. More on those later.)
@upperrubberboot @Zirconium 1. Learn to hold your breath. No, longer than that...
