Montgolfier Brothers

The Montgolfier brothers – Joseph-Michel Montgolfier (French pronunciation: ​[ʒozɛf miʃɛl mɔ̃ɡɔlfje]; 26 August 1740 – 26 June 1810) and Jacques-Étienne Montgolfier (French pronunciation: ​[ʒak etjɛn mɔ̃ɡɔlfje]; 6 January 1745 – 2 August 1799) – were aviation pioneers, balloonists and paper manufacturers from the commune Annonay in Ardèche, France. They invented the Montgolfière-style hot air balloon, globe aérostatique, which launched the first confirmed piloted ascent by humans in 1783, carrying Jacques-Étienne. Joseph-Michel also invented the self-acting hydraulic ram (1796) and Jacques-Étienne founded the first paper-making vocational school. Together, the brothers invented a process to manufacture transparent paper. more »

Inches away and not knowing,
the space we share keeps us both apart.

We'll waste our whole lives, just missing each other.
we'll spend an eternity, just passing each other by...

Inches away from never being lonely,
a chance to share, another human being's time,

Needing to belong, to something or someone,
some point of reference, some peace of mind.

Inches away from waking beside you,
seeing God's flashlight turn your sleeping smile into a frown,
as you come round.

The world outside spins slowly, slowly...
and all the time is ours.
Time to re-dress you, undress you,
and all that time is ours.

Inches away from learning to master,
the tricks required, the magic compromise.
And failing to hold on, to that precious someone,
aching your way through, the last moments,
the final unintended smile...

Inches away from, watching you leave me,
and never quite understanding, all the reasons why...
