Releasing the Angel

it can blind the world
when it spreads its wings
and cover the sky

light as feather
the paper can get the world
to lift the heaviest of chore

and usually is a prison
for those who see it as
the only way to gratify themselves

the millionairer 's son
still deluded that
he has not turned dancer
to let the angel in him live
