Comeuppance
Bubbles and a person-shaped thing in the sky.


Comeuppance

The day old Bart made a Bart-shaped hole in the sky,
and the sky broke into silver bubbles, gyrating as they fell,
we had a tantalising glimpse of what lay on the other side,
some ragged shape glowing in the distant darkness,
and a red globule that oozed through the hole as if
invading.

Many times I warned him that nothing good
would come of his human cannonball ideas.
