folded

everything keeps folding over and over again

like a 5 year olds art project

the one she spent so much time on

but the teacher folds it up and calls it "cute" with a bored yawn

the girl never forgets this moment and every time

she makes a new art project

she folds it up without a second thought.

though she's older and has free will of her own

she uses it to hide and store everything away

just like that teacher did

hiding her beautiful art that fateful day
