A balloon hauls one way while the peak of your career points the other, the two strung along one axis. Jupiter, the bellows that swells every plan and promises wider ground, faces off from the meridian, the visible heading your work climbs toward. The hunger for horizon and the public spot where you show up keep calling each other to account. Inflate what you do for the crowd and something opposite snaps you back to scale. Trim it down and the same pull begs you to grow again. Each pole names what the other overshoots. Between what you pledge in your work and what you actually put on display, your public size gets weighed and reset, over and over, with no settled answer.
