The Smurfettes

Well, well. My first post! And this thing is darn cool. I have a poem. It is called the OW.

It's in your best interest to run.
For I am her.
And though I don't exist
As a mind, or a soul, or a heart
I exist as a body.
As paper exists for the hand
You write me as you want me
For I am meaningless
As discourse.
But I am as light as air
And I am where you take me
I'll never go away
I am the scent in the trees
In the skin
In his clothes.
In your mouth.
I am everywhere you go.

But remember

I am paper.
And I mean no more
than what you make me.

What is the OW?
I really really love this piece! I almost thought you were quoting someone else but then I stopped and said to myself "What are you thinking? Amy is magnificent! How could you doubt that this is her writing?" Then I became silent for the rest of the night. Ok, I lied, I was only silent for a few minutes.
