Paper Balloons

You know when you sometimes see balloons flying high in the sky without their owners? Today I say a piece of paper wafting through the atmosphere a good 500 feet above level ground. It was the first time I saw a lone piece of paper floating so high. A weird sight to say the least. I was thinkin', what's a piece of paper doing all by itself way up there. It looked like an ad page. I know what I do when I get those colorful pieces of junk mail at home, right in the trash. This one obviously had enough of the neglect. Not only does no one pay any attention to those things in the first place but what about the paper itself? Always trumped by inky letters and flashy logos. So, I think this particular piece of paper took off on it's own and did something no other piece of junk mail even conceived of before. It went flying. My full attention was devoted to this flying piece of pulp. I could care less what it was intended to pander, I only saw the paper itself, in it's full glory. My hat's off to you paper. No longer filler in a dump, but an innovator soaring through the air.
