My Paper Planes Poem Kenneth Wee May 2026
Some fly honest and straight, proud as promises. One sailed clean across the alley and landed in Mrs. Cho’s hydrangeas— she laughed and pressed it between pages of a book. Another looped and rolled, making a slow, shy spiral before nestling under a parked bicycle’s chain. I imagine each one carrying a word: please, sorry, hello, maybe. Mostly they carry small rebellions—wishes to go farther than paper allows.
