paper airplane

he finished the poem

he sat back, sighing

reading it one more time

"the best

I have ever written,"

he said aloud

not believing the words staring 

back at him

he went to the

Works

section of his

Wattpad account

he hesitated

the cursor over

'new part'

he hesitated

he minimized the screen

and 

read the poem

one more time

he shook his head

it was , undoubtedly, the best

he had ever written

he went to the menu

and

printed the poem

he held the paper

in his hand

feeling a slight heat from the paper

and 

read it

one

last

time

quickly

he made a

paper airplane

from

the poem

he walked to the

window

opened it

and

tossed

the paper airplane

containing

...the best poem he had ever written...

out the window

of his

15th story apartment

he watched as it

flew downward

eventually

disappearing

he closed the window

wiped a tear from his eye

"at least this way

someone

might actually read it"
