Paper Aeroplanes
I never knew a paper areoplane could carry someone so far;
folded out of mere plain paper, lined, coloured or constructed.
Someone, even so heavy or light as yourself, could fly off in it.
But in rain it folds in on itself, bat from the thin air it caressed.
A lump of pulp and it flies no more- neither it's passenger again.
I knew it wouldn't carry someone far,
but it, at least, carried them halfway.
