Contrary to popular belief,

paper is made from the stars.

It’s true.

You can trust me.

To make paper,

you must first scrape off

the shimmering white stardust,

letting it fall to the earth in flurries.

Then, mix it with dark matter

and the wishes little boys and girls make

at the foot of their bed every night.

That will create the base.

When you dry the paper, know that

this paper is made of the stars.

It is sacred.

It is beautiful.

It is magic.
