All my life I’ve only known

Crumpled paper balls

Rumpled frumpled paper notes

Torn off of the walls

Paper people, paper places

Handwritten, blue and black

Paper dreams fall one by one

There’s something that he all lack

And shoved into their paper bins

Into the dark they go

Amidst pink wads of chewing gum

My paper ponders grow

But perhaps like papers from the past

The paper then unfurled

A peep of possibility

That may just change the world
