Show transcript
Paper is presented as seemingly important to our lives but is ultimately insignificant.
This free verse poem, without regular rhyme, reflects the unsteady nature of tissue, power and the transience of life.

The poem uses an extended metaphor throughout, comparing ‘tissue’ to human life.
