no one gets as close to me as you.
So delicate, so clean,
Trapped, innocently, in a cardboard cage,Like so many stacked beneath you.
In my hour of need, I search for you.
Urgently, I pluck you from your bondage.
Like the net beneath the trapeze,you are my safety.
When I find you, all that is within me
spills into your generous arms.
Thick, viscous, it keeps me from breathing.
and I am disgusted by what I see.
Dear tissue, I know you no longer.Ashamed, I cover you with my hand.
Crumple you.
And toss you to your new cage.
What a great Ode to Kleenex. (The visual image is also helpful. Hah hah)
