the balloonist who isn't pedro is boring

i wish we would float by a bear.
are there any bears in america? if a bear
was my balloonist we would hold hands.
the bear could not operate the mechanisms because
of no thumbs but i could take care of that
i have been playing spider solitaire for 4 days.

i take rejection so hard.
i didn’t want the air to throw him overboard but
we were sinking and it was tired of his vocabulary.
laughing can be fun if you reject stuff. rejection makes the laughter
become fun. i am playing two hands of spider solitaire at once now
i will not beat the devil because he's a sore loser.

when the air hated you it was thinking of someone else.
it saw people’s faces in the trees and confused you
with someone cold and heavy. it doesn't really know
anything about your temperature or density or whether
you could operate the mechanisms. i don’t matter.
when it loved me it was thinking of someone else.
