Fold the letter in half
To make the body.
Each side must be bent opposite the other.
Now you’ve made wings.
Dig your starting point behind the wheelbarrow.
That’s your shooting line.
Aim carefully, hold it like you would a pencil,
You want it to reach as high as possible.
Try to think of what makes you happy.
Hold on to that.
Now, let it fly,
And hope it does something wonderful.
