The balloon

2021 - 

On a sunny day

Pick up a green balloon

Blow it and fill it with sand

Put it outside in the sun

Wait patiently until the heat of the sun, by itself,

Pops the balloon.

​

"Deprived of substance a form becomes very susceptible

to external forces"

Filled with it, and it might blow from inside.
