2024_7_19 Plague Poem

When you try to crumple paper
(the overly pressed
stretched too thin
soul of something that used to live
wildly
ferverently)
the first time
It is tough
Sharp
Resistant

When you try to crumple
(the overly pressed
stretched too thin
soul of something that used to live
wildly
ferverently)
the 1,000th time
i am tired
weak
bled through
