When I talk to paper like a family,
It does not response
When I discuss with paper like a friend,
It does not revise
When I cut it,
It has a sword or a knife.
I felt pain.
Paper looks apathetic.
Wound comes after with red tears.
Paper is a part of my heart.
Paper is a part of my life.
Paper is paper.
Paper
Paper
Thin like mist
It is easy to tear
Tears from heart appear on cheek
when I get torn.
Like paper, my heart is fragile.
Smooth like silk
Pens flow anywhere
My body chooses chinese cloth...
That is silk.
My heart is in peace in it.
A Bright City and Dark Eyes
1. Common Sense
What is the color of the Sky?
Blue is the correct answer
What is the true color of the Sky?
Gray is the answer
Buildings and fake trees are high
Dolls and yellow weeds are low
Baby is baby.
Adult is adult.
Child is who?
No one knows answers to this question
No one notices to this question
No one is around her.
2. The Color
She sees the sea
She notices the sea is blue.
C is C
The truth is always the one truth.
Red ribbon, pink flower, and purple butterfly
Orange fruit, ocher sand, and yellow bird
They are true according to the letters in books.
But, she did not know before the meaning of the color
The sea is blue.
The sky is blue.
Are they the same colors?
The tea is green.
The tea is brown.
Which is the truth?
The truth is always the same.
But, who told you there is only one truth in the world?
