Take a thought bubble strip it of its skin

until it fills the whole space of your mind

examine its components

 

describe them in a palace of time

wrap those images in words write them on paper

you've captured that bubble in poetry. 

 

Walk away: it remains to nag you

with its shiny or tawdry ego

bursting with love or hate

 

but hopefully not indifference

for if so then it will have floundered

your bubble pricked and collapsed.
