![Bindle Spring 2024 cover, with a hobo cat, named Barnabas J Flickwhisker, walking (on two legs) towards the left side of the reader. He has a tin pot for a hat, is carrying a bindle on a stick, has fish bones hanging from his back pocket, and is barefoot (bare-pawed). He is wearing a blue and white striped shirt, pants with patches held up by a rope, and a green jacket. He is walking in a train yard, in front of two visible train cars. The cover also has the words "Bindle Zine," and in smaller text "FREE ZINE! Issue #3 — Lid; Spring 2024; Featuring Long Island Writers and Artists."](../assets/images/2024/spring/03BZSP24-cover.webp){: .inline_img.left}

Remember paper? Remember holding something made of paper in one hand and reading while drinking a hot beverage in the other? Remember how paper feels and smells? Inks that could smear and pages that could dog-ear? Read it once, and it looks like you’ve read it. You could leave it on a seat in a public place and be assured that someone would take a look at it, too, before eventually going in the trash. It’s okay. It’s ephemeral but lasts forever in your head. Break the spine, mark it up with highlighters, make rude pencil drawings in the margins. It’s okay. It’s paper, and it’ll still convey the stories we write in it.
