Appa and his newspapers

Fresh off the grinding mills                                                                                                                                   Tumultuous in their will                                                                                                                                            Compact bundles of what’s new                                                                                                                               Without much dew or adieu!                                                                                                                                            
In all tongues known to man                                                                                                                                
Transcribing whatever they can

Browsing all columns, but selectively imbibing                                                 Newly awake Appa scrolls imagining                                               With glasses falling and coffee slurping                           That serene corner – sunlight and enduring                   The decisive comments passed in between                                     Before the letters finally become lean

The best of these papers has but passed                             For when Appa reaches the thrift store fast                                               Large men and larger scales weigh them, tossed                                                           Not for their merit, but only their cost

Yet for us this is a ritual commenced                               Since the lost papers lead to further still                   The pureed papers go to new columns hence And more papers for Appa and the corner sill
