Economic Match

Fold an origami heart and rip it apart,
Look after the pieces and try to pull them back together-
Nothing stays the same after it reaches the bottom.

Dead End.

Books and newspapers on a table,
Old photographs of lost hours,
Have you ever tried to listen
To the rain knocking on the window?

Literature.

Time has passed silently,
Economic decisions were made,
Students struggled with decimals,

Life
Will
Come
To
An
End

Tal,

That last part expressing time and decimals is genius, and I mean genius. If it was accidental, so be it; although, I doubt it. You wrote the words and they are beautiful:

"Time had passed silently. Economic decisions were made. Students struggled with decimals."

I changed the tense in the last line; it's all yours girl. Excellent. Beautiful. Brilliant. Applause.

Damn!!!

Marsupila Man bows to you.

No crap, well done,

Paul
