The smooth crisp of new paper
Sharp, sleek, like new suits on sale
We scramble for the pieces
Bright bold hues calling
A myriad of colours clutter the table
A draft, and they
Flutter
Fold here and there
In half, then into perfect angular quarters
Again and again
Symmetry’s key
Imprinted crinkles Like meandering distributaries
Cut the lines between
From clean to weatherworn like an old pair of shoes
The paper’s stained with creases of timeWhen bored, write senseless poems.
