Paper Trail
this is my paper trail
without fail,
others can follow,
and they can see –
where i have been so fallow
they can see –
when i have pulled down the scenery
and when i have been shallow
so, this is my paper trail
and what is now,
will only be true –
if the experiences we have dallied with
map the brow of me and you
but i found every letter –
and turned my sentence –
into a sentence
and i headed down to a place –
where they shop only for clues
this is my paper trial
and this for everyone, including you
