Written By MaryJane Nordgren

paper to recycled life

more than two decades’ worth

of saved piles, notebooks, filing cabinets

accumulations of old poems, duplicate

plays for multiple readers, sketches

of scenes, descriptions of characters

now shopping bags filled for recycling

and, oh, the surprise found:

grandchildren’s stories and poems

in fat, just-learning-to-print letters
