Paper dolls.

Stationary paper dolls
You loved the climb, enjoy the fall
Here we stand all thin in fear
Torn the edges, hang on dear
The breeze, she blows so bitter strong
It could not have lasted very long.

It could not have lasted very long
With a foundation paper-strong.

Origami's fit to please
Every fold a bitter tease
Slight of hand and poof! it's gone
On written page a solemn song
We write and think, color and draw
In hopes to spin gold from the straw

In hopes to spin gold from the straw
Yet all we have are paper dolls -
Stationary paper dolls.
