Newspapered

A few days back,

I laughed so much

they began calling me

the front page of a booming newspaper

run by a far-right party.

Yesterday,

I wept word after word after word 

and heard

the publication stands ceased.

Today,

Just lying there

I could see 

some news-items designed

among flashy advertisements.

Clearly -

this newspapered Life is paperish,

so ephemeral 

that it reminds one of rumours.
