pieces

you want pieces of me
to chop up like paper
and add to your collection,
to stick in your scrapbook,
to hang on your wall.

you want pieces of me
torn off like coupons,
redeem for special offers,
hurry - there's a used by date.

you want pieces of me,
but I'm only stickytaped together,
if you pull too hard
I'll come apart
scattered on the floor.

You want pieces of me
and I don't know if I can give them
or if they'll be pretty enough
to hang on your wall -
don't mistake them for toilet paper.
