folded paper game
fortune-telling life, love—
rose petals opening
Remember that game you played in the schoolyard with a piece of paper folded over and over? On it someone had carefully printed out possible future scenarios--what you would be when you grew up or whom you would love....
It was always a frigid day, with frost nipping at your toes and you had to shuffle and stomp just to generate heat, but you couldn't wait to yank your mitten off, and start manipulating that little paper toy with your fingers. I was never crafty enough to do the folding part well, but I could write out some interesting text. And how much fun such a simple little toy provided.
