PAPER DOLL
Paper doll got tired
but said nothing,
she went on letting herself
be written on,
got flooded with ink
and just in time was saved
from dying of the last period
because she climbed onto
a paper ship
and disembarked on the sea.
There, paper doll
started swimming,
and the ocean all around
was, for an instant,
a blue soup of tiny letters.
