A boy was blowing bubbles       

Perfect little spheres detached themselves from his bubble-stick

And floated off in a play of rainbow colors

Or burst

Raining down upon his face

Yet one bubble stayed and grew

And wouldn’t burst

So the young man continued blowing

Watching it shimmer and expand

And slowly take a woman’s shape

Her bellybutton connected to the bubble-stick

Her breasts and arms and shapely legs growing bigger

More and more breath-taking and life-like

And still she wouldn’t burst but kept on growing

Drawing last drops of air from his lungs

As the man with livid face and bulging eyes running out of breath kept blowing and blowing and still she wouldn’t burst

But suddenly tore off

And floated away and kept on floating receding in the distance

While the man shriveled up and collapsed

Breathless……
