OrigamiA Poem by cyanide&cellophanePaper airplanes, paper airplanes/ a little rain comes and goes again/ and we all melt cause we're paper thin/ thin, thin here we all fall/ Paper machete your ceilings and walls/ they all cave in/ and we're all cravin'/ Paper hands to hold, paper hearts that never fold/ cause I know so many people that bled ink and wrote in love a way to spell home/ home, home, home is gone/ construct aqua ducts to make the tears stop/ cause if they don't stop, then your words are gone/ if your words are gone, and all is lost/ then searching for yourself may bring about a cost/ a cost that causes so many people/ to rip themselves or find words in a steeple/ because people think they're not paper thin/ and people hate their paper skin/ Paper people want to start again/ but the ink doesn't come out of their paper skin. Origami fold me up/ turn me pretty, pretty please/ the petty is the prettiest, and the pettiest are pretty pleased/ etiquette is eloquence, and the elephant in the room is me/ pretty petty people putting pitousness in paper seams/ but these origami birds are never folded as they ever seem/ flightless, I am flightless/ I am mindless/ I am, different depending on my symmetry/ flightless, I am flightless/ I am mindless/ I am, not your play thing © 2015 cyanide&cellophane |
