Pages
of blank
white paper
folded halfway
horizontally
stapled on
the spine
to make
it look like
a makeshift book
about
stories and dreams
squiggly lines
comic bubbles
smiley faces
sun and moon
sticks and stones
hula-hoops
irregular hearts
of people
holding hands
stick figures
pointy ears
circular eyes
birds shaped
as shifted
number threes
every thing
held together
by staple wires
and
a child's dreams.
