Paperclip Army
Rated: E | Poetry | Fantasy | #965368
What if the "pages" of reality were held together by...
They seem unassuming,
These bits and twists
That pile in a cup-
Such simple guests.
  *Clip* *Clip* *Clip*
"Paperclips" we call them,
Because pages clip together.
For so long as we look,
Sinews of metal never stir!
  *Clip* *Clip* *Clip*
The warriors we never see,
Stick figures of twisty-
Marching bits of wire:
Clackety Clickety.
  *Clip* *Clip* *Clip*
They hold in their grip
So much more than pages:
While our gazes slip,
A secret battle rages.
  *Clip* *Clip* *Clip*
