The Point Of A Pin

Feelings
Sweet feelings
Drop from my fingers
Fingers

Manic Depression, Jimi Hendrix

Compared to the surface area
of a balloon inflated with air
or the volume of that same balloon
the point of a pin is very small.
It’s almost infinitesimal.
Nonetheless just the point of a pin
piercing the surface of a balloon
will cause an unrecoverable
catastrophic change-of-state to wreck
the balloon’s structural coherence.

This is why good guys think twice before
they drill some girls. Or deeply for oil.

Music
Sweet music
Wish I could caress
Caress
