Picture, for a minute, a scene. Two lovers in a hot air balloon. Hand-in-hand. Watching the twinkling lights below and twinkling lights above.
The world below. The world /sub/-balloon. Uninviting toward and ashamed of the lovers. The world of drinks and problems.
Words of encouragement from one lover to the other, followed by the first’s lament. Finally, acknowledgement that the world below is not where the lovers should be.
But the deeply damaged lovers continue to climb in their balloon until everything everything is gone. And they continue on.
