For The Love Of Paper

 
 
 
well,
for one thing
it can be folded
- with a little inspiration
a simple seven word poem
could be a boeing 747
complete with nose cone
(but that's the side note to this letter)
-crafted from ink to paper
then typed word to word
on qwerty and LED
 
and there is much to be said
for our new reality
"the smart life"
- smart car
- smart TV
- smart fridge
- s m a r t...
 
though with a little introspection
I'm left reminded
that the design for the first ever
smart device  
would  
be drawn on paper
with each fine line
meticulously thought
in graphite to grain
 
but this is love poetry
not a tech discussion
an ode
to all the hundreds  
of post-it-notes
birthday cards
pages of music notes
stories in books
cliché' in magazines
death in the newspaper
love letters
and  
poetry  
 
on paper
