Chinese Balloon Poem by Belle Wassermeister
Chinese Balloon
I followed this Chinese balloon
for almost 200 kilometers
before I realized
it was bird poop on my windshield.
Chinese balloons, UFOs… the Americans are always after such enigmas..Good work, Belle
Enigmas, nothing! The U.S. has shot down a dozen Chinese spy balloons just this week!
Hahaha! Very funny! There is an amazing metaphor in this poem, incredible how we can follow and sincerely believe the 'crap' that hits our daily windshields of life; you've given us wisdom to ensure that what we see is really what we think we see. Great!
Belle answered me thus: " Enigmas, nothing! The U.S. has shot down a dozen Chinese spy balloons just this week! " I meant anything that flies is enigmatic… had named UFOs. But add to the list Superman, batman, Spider-Man…
