about

Paper

blank piece of paper
out of a factory ream
one of a thousand
we all
look the same

I have folded myself up into tight creases
pressed down on on my own seams held
down my own dreams
over and over again
over and over again
over and over again
over and over again

the winter sun’s fingers are tired and weak
as they try to reach my paper dry lips
as they try to reach my paper dry lips
as they try to touch my paper dry lips
as they try to kiss my paper dry lips
it’s enough to
unfold me

can’t follow directions
i don’t understand
two different languages
neither one mine

I have folded myself up into tight creases
pressed down on on my own seams held
down my own dreams
over and over again
over and over again
over and over again
over and over again

the winter sun’s fingers are tired and weak
as they try to reach my paper dry lips
as they try to reach my paper dry lips
as they try to touch my paper dry lips
as they try to kiss my paper dry lips
it’s enough to
unfold me
