Another 55 Poem -
I lead an origami life
With newsprint folds I make birds fly.
They call their friend B-BALLOON with word charms,
then with his help (a-waving arms)
I join the natives in the sky.
We circumnavigate the town
we pick new gossip from the trees.
Before the deadline hour sounds
my friends write notes upon the leaves.
