My Uncle the Drunken Balloon Man

My uncle is a drunken balloon man.  Helps people into balloon baskets and into the sky and finds them again when they have fallen crumpled into a field.  This isn’t a parable; he does not feel connected to history; he drives a red pickup truck, almost new; and I suspect he sometimes pulls over just to watch the balloon-free sky – our new world and its old wind and rain that rinses us when the weather is all wrong for a balloon ride

Ellen Quigley is the editor at large of Forget.
