paper chain

bedrooms should inspire dreams

Back in those hazy memory days, before I
learned how to imprint memory with motive,
I remember getting angry, throwing you away.

I wanted to rescue you,
but I wasn’t allowed
to take things
from the
garbage.

You
were gone
forever, but I
could see you there,
in front of my eyes.

I don’t know why you made
such an impression, but ever since, you’ve
come to mind during moments of unbearable sadness.

    Nice work. Evocative, bittersweet. I had guessed: a doll – before learning it was a paper chain. Mine is a comic poem this time, about my monster named ‘Megabyte’ =)

    I get the place where this poem comes from; I have a few memories like this myself. Nice job.

    Are
    you sure
    that paper chain
    was not really a
    discarded quadropus of
    a banana’s
    peel?

    I imagine the banana peel and the paper chain are hangin’ out. I bet they stay up late into the night telling stories, playing cards and reminiscing about those strange days in the land of people.
