Paper Napkins

By IndyDom316

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

Paper Napkins will save the world. Think about it, they will. Could you live without them? Could you live in a world of dirty sleeves? Could you live with your arms dragged down- by The Weight of things you were too lazy to dispose of? Too lazy to deal with? The Weight of things you ignored... things you hoped would go away. Things you spread too thin..things you let build up When a Paper Napkin would wipe it all away. Paper Napkins will save the world. Think about it, they will. Could you live without them? Could you live in a world of dirty pants? Could you live with your lap covered in dirt? It's very unimportant really, your lap. But everyone makes a big deal about it. And if your lap is dirty.. you'll find a life of solitude. Of pain, and the searing and burning of comments and insults. Rumours and stories theat could easily be wiped away... with a Paper Napkin Paper Napkins will save the world. Think about it, they will. Could you live without them? Could you live in a world of spilled food? A world of sustenance wasted? Sitting and fermenting, aging and molding onto the clean countertop, ruining its luster. A clean counter is ruined when covered by this mush. A mush of happy things wasted, a mush of life wasted turned by time and the outside world into a parasite slowly eating away at your beautiful countertop. No matter how strong, how clean it once was it is nothing to the poison you've created. A poison that could have been removed sooner... by a Paper Napkin. Something so small, so thin, so easy, Could save the world if you used them more. This is not an advertisement for Paper Napkins. Written February 20th, 2002 © on Feb 20 2002 05:28 AM PST   0 • 14
