Bubbles

I just realized today that, when boiling water, bubbles form at the bottom of the pot because that's where it's hottest, so that's where water is turning into steam most rapidly. And then they rise through the water because they want to be free, of course. Having just reached the threshold of gaseousness, the bubbles find themselves rising above the mass, shy at first, but becoming the precursors of the ones to follow. Inspired by their comrades, and fueled by the fire under them all, they expand, they become lighter, and soon whole masses and hordes all rise together to a much greater world outside of their pot, blaring all together from their vibrant hydrogen atoms: FREEEEEEDOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!!!
