we made paper airplanes
unlike Leonardo's flying machine
they flew near the ceiling
with no frescoes
but we were happier there
when the moonlight streamed in
I'm not precocious
they told my friends
what I was I am
a girl with no plan
but does it really matter
only God matters
if only we can reflect
one fleck of Him
a rainbow to cover
the silver snail
that would be
saving a lot.
