Paper Places
In my paper airplane,
I fly over paper places.
A town of paper people;
A mass of paper faces.
The perfect paper house
With the perfect paper yard.
The perfect paper family,
Whose life is never hard.
But what happens when the winds come?
What happens when the storms rage?
The perfect paper places are blown away.
The perfect paper houses blaze.
The husband’s cheating on the wife;
The son can’t keep the beer at bay.
The daughter never comes home at night;
The wife wants to go away.
The paper house is crumpling,
And I fly over wondering,
“How could they not see
paper places are not meant to be?”
