~Paper Cuts~
Do you remember
back in the gray days
when the cat approached
and you almost fainted
as I, onlooking
dazed on the inside
almost fainted too?
I thought sleep was made
to turn dusk to day
and that jinn lurked
behind the closet doors
curious of my comprehension.
I remember when he
would count his shiny coins
one by one
and I thought that we
were rich but
one day
all that money disappeared.
I’ve always wondered
why paper cuts hurt
so much
and now I still am
left oblivious by the fact
and never asked why.
