Paper Sun

Holding hands 

on the beach.

The moment when

she closes the door

behind her.

"I forgot my mantra!"

The report card

you threw in the trash

and told your parents

you lost it.

There was no chicken

in the chicken fettuccini

alfredo from Trader Joe's,

but it was still delicious.

The paper dosa that falls

apart when you eat it.

All your plans
for the future.
