i'm the paper

i'm not
hung up you don't know me very well i don't get
hung up. i am very important to myself, and seem
to only be equally as important to others who are
hung up

we move exactly like the water. exactly
there is almost nothing it can't teach us if we
would first shut up, or make a joke
so everybody else will listen too

what if the beautiful woman hears a poem
coming to her on the ground, her throat
her body all cut up? there is no paper,
it comes to me
