bubbles

Rising to the top
pushing past
the dense
goop

Lighter now,
ready to escape
released
but
unseen

No one to notice,
only voices
saying something
was suddenly missing
in the mire;
and things seemed
different
now
and tasted
funny

Escaped invisible
into the space above;
misremembered as leaving,
for the longest time

Attempting to be popped
when seen;
because there's
more fun
in
destroying you
than in watching you
self-destruct
