"The balloon was a spontaneous autobiographical disclosure, having to do with the uneasy I felt at your absence but now it is no longer necessary or appropriate. Removal of the balloon was easy, trailer trucks carried away the depleted fabric, which is now stored in west Virginia, awaiting for some other time of unhappiness, some time, perhaps, when we are angry with one another."
Donald Barthelme
