Today, I was driving home from work to get all dolled up for a job interview. I missed my usual turn, and so had to do some improvisation to get home. On one of these strange new streets (OK, actually, it was just Normal ave. (really)) I saw what looked like a single soap bubble floating in mid air, above the road. The sky was clear, blue, and the bubble had rainbow bands twisting through it. Stunning. Totally puzzled, I looked around, but didn't see anyone there to make it. I think it might have been a glass globe or something, hung down from a powerline, but when I looked in my mirrors I couldn't see it. It might have popped.
So I don't know, team. Mystery bubble? Strange glass globe? Weather balloon? Alien probe? It was beautiful, and took my mind off my troubles.
seeing a lonely floating soap bubble (or something), thinking (in vague, general terms) of fragility and meaning, beauty, and seeing it all reflected in those rainbow whorls: ****

If you were on Normal Ave, it was probably from the bubble machine at Silly Rabbit Chocolate Co.
Sorry to burst your metaphorical bubble.
