some days I want to make paper dolls out of all the news stories
and industriously, merrily paint over all the articles newly clipped
and school glue pasted down as
the happy families paperdom
in neon glo colors that scare the cat at night
and then stage musicals with them.
perhaps tap dancing might be a little awkward since they'll have poster board
bases to help them stand upright.
yes. alright. lets do it. first big little project of the summer what's left of it.
cut it all out and paste it all up and poster paint it till the sun don't shine
and all the dialog in all their plays will be anything but
what was in the news today
so that when the asteroid hits they will all still be paper doll smiling.
and indefatigable.
