I'm not a mailable item
I'm not an item
I'm not made for folding
 several times to fit 
I won't fit in an envelope
Unfold me
I'm not a regular shape
You can't wrap a paper around me to perfectly cover my edges
I'm not a square
I'm not a triangle
I'm not an item
I'm not to be stained with ink and hand smudges 
the marks of regret you smear on something
Even if I were mailable
Don't send me off
away
Don't seal my breath
because
I can't breathe
And if you were to attach me to a pretty gift
and shove me in a box
then post me off 
to a decent address
where I'll stay
and breathe
and 
unfold
