Look up
And you’ll see many things
Clouds
Birds
Mountains
And maybe even
A Hot Air Balloon
Drifting through the sky
On a summer afternoon
So close that
You can see the colors and the zig zag stripes
Maybe even a little person
In the little basket
Way up there
In the sky
But if you look down
And around
You’ll see the better picture
Of a community of people
Stopped in their places
On streets
In cars
In gardens and backyards
Peering through their kitchen windows
Out to call their friends
To come out
AndåÊlook up
At the hot air balloon
