word/paper

i went to teacher training today
and the message i remember most 
was to my left
on her left wrist.
 shannon wears this imperative beautifully,
almost hidden.
 and i was given a gift of flax paper
quite a cocoon of the stuff
 i can play in it
 tear it
spin it up
a gift from papeterie saint-armand. 
word and paper
a command word, softly spoken
some blank paper
watermark lines
thoughts for monday.

  1. "read" reminded me of Shelley Jackson's project. Have you seen this? A story published on the skin of 2095 volunteers.

  11. The flax paper seems to be more alive and transparent than normal paper. It seems to to to more unruly. I hope you have great fun with it!
