i am origami

i am origami.

fold. crease. fold.

unwrinkled paper

shrinking in size.

Origami-crane_1_1 every fold. crease. fold.

creating a weak spot.

greasy fingers that

fold. crease. fold.

and leave a residue.

who folds?

who manipulates?

what am i?

box.

crane.

stick insect.

flower.

or just

a piece of paper

once smooth

now wrinkled.

wow thx. tho it's very rough. i hardly edited it. more like a structured stream of consciousness thing if there is such a thing. first line created the second created the third etc. not very much thought in it at all, except that i am origamified...
