We are all words on paper
like characters in a paperback book,
scenes, dialogue and plot-twists
on the pages yet-unread.
The words on paper
telling our own story,
a wedding invite,
driving license, birthday card,
newspaper obituary, the love letter,
the exam results, speeding fine,
the divorce papers, the job offer,
the secret diary, last will and testament,
the birth certificate.
Just words on paper.
