text version: when i am old
when i am old
will you fold me up until
i slot between the pages
of your favourite book
when i am old
will you use me like a
microfibre cloth to collect
all the dust on our shelves
when i am old
will you break me in two
like a glow stick and play
with me on bonfire night
when i am old
will you melt me down
into a rose-scented candle
and light me in the winter
when i am old
will you crush me into a fine
powder and sprinkle me into
your hot soups and broths
when i am old
will you mop me up off
the cold floor with warm
water and rinse me down the drain
when i am old
will you roll me into a joint
and then inhale me into your lungs
so i can soothe you to sleep
when i am old
will you bury me in the
garden and water me until
i grow into a fresh pink baby
