Ha-Young Kang A Girl’s Bubble On a hot, sunny day, a Korean Girl came to the United States, blowing a bubble, her American dream
The Girl’s bubble left her mouth, knowing nothing of where to go
Wandering around the Girl’s head, giving the Girl a dizzy whirl, the bubble still knew nothing of where to go
Seeing others’ bubbles pop around her head, the Girl, who was now scared, started blowing her little, yet firm bubble above her head as much as possible
As the bubble floated higher and higher in the sky, gradually it would come to grow rapidly
Now the giant bubble might seem so feeble, threatening the Girl that it might pop, and leave her forever
Now the huge bubble might seem so far away, scaring the Girl that it might be gone, and leave her forever
But the Girl never cried
In spite of the great anxiety she never cried
She saw it
There she saw her feeble yet giant bubble reflecting the bright sunshine all over its round body
There she saw her American Dream shining in the sky with the seven colors of rainbow, like a promise from God
