BIG BOAT

In a much smaller place, 
I could be a BIG BOAT
in a place this size, I'm 
a bubble of soap! 

I could rise, fly shimmer 
and skip on a breeze! 
I don't expect notice 
for a drip like me. 

See a bubble's just a drip 
that's sticky enough to catch 
a breeze in itself, then wander 
off drunk (you know for liquids,
fresh air's an intoxicant). 

I'm at home as a mote, plus 
wherever I went! On the breeze, 
I'm at home, and I never did 
pop. 

I can always come down 
in the pressure drop, touch 
surface - the worst I can do 
is float! Theoretically, or 

drown. But so far, nope! 
I'm a boat.
