Lots of good lines here Brandon, especially the ending strophe. Here's my move and poem.
Uses for Paper
Bb5+
The girls would savage daisies,
for the fierce love of crushed petals.
Their cootie catchers were divining rods,
a secret origami language whispered
by oracles in gingham skirts.
We already knew the future
was not in gray brick, and unmoving clocks.
We breathed the blue of the sky,
and would not be folded so small.
We were aerodynamic, all diagonal lines.
To control you must remain,
to escape you can only fly.
