Thoughts on Life

A smooth scrap of paper

takes three-dimensions

but only when keen hands

shape it into being.



The process not perfected

yet as torn edges mark where

mistakes were made but

folded over, hidden from view.



The corners are bent inwards,

removing their jagged edges

from cutting the fingers of

those apt at making it into art.



Once the design is complete,

it is marveled over, that is,

until it falls underfoot

only to be flattened thin again.
