Running Paper Comments

I like this poem. It's an example of what I'll call strong personification as the essay takes off on its own to write its own destiny, so to speak. I can understand the writer's fatal chasing of it, too; it's his intellectual property that's printed there. So there's a believable conflict here. I think your closing lines are inspired. I should have given it wings. Yes! That's precisely the task of the writer, to give what he writes the resources, the impulse, the freedom to exist on its own. There's a lot of truth about creative writing just below the surface of this poem about paper.
