Paper Wishes

Once there was a man
Who owned a paper sun, a paper moon, and a handful of paper stars
And when he was cold, his paper sun cast no warmth
And when he was lonely, his paper moon did not glow
And when he was unfortunate
Well, his paper stars would not fulfill his wishes
No matter how he tried
He could not realize his paper dreams
But he went on living his paper life
And when non-paper friends tried to remove his paper spectacles
He only threw up paper walls
So They banged their heads into the soft pulp
And prayed for rain.

This truly blew my mind...It has a sort of story-type but it's sad and that makes it so beautiful....amazing!

Very interesting... the ending wrapped it up skillfully, though the whole work was well-executed. And perhaps a little return to nature would do the poet some good, no? ;)

You, or someone had better upgrade your account right now, so you stick around Mr. 26.9%. A person who spits out writes of this magnitude deserve a fist full of cookies. [Kick ass shit fuck start card] - [D&A]
