Fold papers
Constructed to float
Like planes
Strip
Through the stripes
Along the lines
And take off
Make off
With much more
Than words written
Actual actions
That lift off
Pages
Origami ornament’s
Origin
Arose from bore
The formal forms
Turned
To sheets torn
Without intent to teach
Amusement
From improper usage
Still fuels
The mind anyway
Away and away
Fly fliers
Beneath the lights
Shone
In a way
More motions
Than moving emotions
It coasts
To another plane
Needless of
Communication
Vacation
Much needed
A cruise
For the piece
That used
To be tree
Now used
To set free
The imagination
