Paper Boats
by Katrina Sutherland
It’s bedtime for squirrels and people, but not us.
We make paper boats to throw out the windows.
They stick in the gutters and litter the driveway.
We’ll pick them up later—
When the squirrels wake up and the trees aren’t dark anymore.
Now we’ll look at twinkling airplane lights.
You’ll twist my silk shirt in your fingers
And ask for more paper.
