The Bubble Problem

What are these fragile spheres

floating just inches from my furry face?

They tease my tongue relentlessly--

disappearing when finally I catch them--

inexplicable, like a magician’s rabbit in a hat.

 

Fascinating and free...

but what is that lingering taste?

Bitter...clinging ceaselessly

to my dripping coral tongue,

stripping away my enjoyment.

 

Their creator pulls out a wand

and blows a new set towards me.

I should look away, run away.

But alas, here I am yet again,

chasing bubbles in the backyard.
