Silent Pop

After being fully cured of brain weevils
his brave and tortured feet trod meaningfully if not
magnificently towards the shopping mall
ready at last for the arcade of abundance

When a dancing sphere not quite
lighter than air but certainly greener and fatter
bounced along the road beside him
he recognised a portent as well as the next ape

Should he adopt it, or release it
back into the nearest river?

It swerved into the road and survived strikes
from not one but two vehicles before
silently popping beneath a third

It was certainly as if something but what
