Exact Paper Portraits

stacked certificates of printed births. ink stamped little feet on four by eight cards. such near relatives returning to golden crayan bethel's. exact paper portraits.... such exact paper portraits.... when exacting paper portraits...…. now they say god has hands so he too i suppose can be forgiven at times. they say a life can be measured in judicial lengths. tiny lives beginning at one end catalogued at another. corners glissening..... in time there will be a coffee stain and wrinkles along the edges. all collected ornately and catalogued by a very old god.
