My Bonfires Strict Paper Diet
I have lit my tenth bonfire
since I retired two months ago
this one is gorgeous like the others
a bit different
she is burning all confidential records
of children with 504 plans at my school
no one needs these copies
and I do not want them falling into the wrong hands
my principal has the originals
and I have uploaded all the 504’s into a computer system
I watch two hundred pages go up in smoke
confident they will remain confidential
the bonfire pops and crackles her appreciation
she loves cardboard and paper the best
I have tried to feed her plastic, but that has a horrific smell
So now I keep her on a strict paper diet
