//paper flies//

Paper airplane

flying dreams

plain and simple

straight and clean.

Stark contrast with

the business, past which it streams;

mind of a child

taking wings.

Imagine if we

took everything

like a piece of paper-

saw past the four edges

the bold letters, hard desk edges

and saw the potential.

If the sheet

was folded, shaped

molded and made

into something that gave

both joy and fascination

perhaps this would make a

detonation

of understanding.

I see paper

you see something that glides

one sees a tree

one sees a star

one sheet has many sides.

Take a look through

your neighbor’s eyes

and maybe

one day

we’ll see paper fly.
