C'est La Vie (1965)
	
	I was convinced when I puckered up
	and air coming out of my mouth
	blew out, pushing clear soap bubbles
	from the stick I held on to,
	my eyes closed as I spun around
	in circles imagining to be a big
	bubble swaying in the air,
	opaque rainbow colors caught the sun’s rays
	and I cheated to open my eyes,
	here, there, everywhere
	flowing above and below,
invading on the air,
	boys and girls began to gather
	as if they were chicks to
	be fed, pecking with fingers
	at the bubbles, and happily
	chirping in unison,
	I was at ease watching
	bubbles burst on faces
	of young and old alike
	sitting on benches,
me, eyeing different expressions
	I thought to myself
	C’est La Vie, on how
	I had made new friends
	by blowing bubbles
	from a ten cent
	bottle of Mr. Bubbles
