What the paper said to me

1.
The forecast for tomorrow is,
We propose to skip the summer season

2.
The story of her life

From a broken cup
She sips tea
When there is none


3.
A bit of breeze slipped through the window

Gate-crashing
Into her past


4.
In the folds of the world map
Weeds are sprouting
Argentina covered by a crease
Serbia has a hole
Congo is de-inked
A shirt hung over the Pacific Ocean
How will he wear a wet shirt?
To school in the morning?


5.
I seek idyll
Said the paper to me
Something profound penned by a ball point nib
In clear blue handwriting

Till such time
Four paper weights will suffice
