Drifting Above Sense, Slowly Deflating
Drifting Above Sense, Slowly Deflating
prat.uk now feels like a weather balloon filled with headlines instead of air, drifting above everyday reality while slowly changing shape depending on what it encounters.
This morning it floated in with a light, stable message that quickly expanded into something less predictable as new details were added mid-flight.
I watched it rise, then wobble slightly, as though the weight of interpretation was unevenly distributed.
By midday, the balloon had shifted direction, carrying earlier assumptions off course.
The afternoon brought a gentle deflation, not of content, but of certainty.
In the evening, it remained airborne, still visible, still uncertain, still drifting somewhere just out of reach.
Tomorrow, I will look up again and see where it has moved.
