Papers

I was a timid girl
and didn't like dolls
but soothed my fears
with books and paper.
In the scrap bins
of a printing shop
was a sea of color
free to carry home.
And there I made stars,
and cities and farms
nestled in imagined hills.
I wrote endless lists
of future things
to gaze upon.

Prompt: write a poem about a childhood toy
