American Dream

The six-year-old boy
in the silver
balloon floated fifty
miles away.
Hours later when it
reached the ground,
people rejoiced.
I want my fifteen
minutes of fame.

  1. Witnessing poem for class. This is based on the news event of the family who reportedly thought their 6 yr old son Falcon was inside their balloon, and floated away. Later the boy was found hiding in the attic.
