My Queendom For A Pencil! Or: I Need an Assistant!

(I want a pencil!
Not a pen…)

Time is shortening;
Thought is time.

Actions bother
Sense of rhyme.

(Again, I grab a pen,
By mistake!)

Shortening time,
Time is thought.

Fractions gather,
Math unrhymed.

(I search for a pencil,
As I brush aside pens.)

Time is lengthening
By mistake!

Jesus, Mother!
Guess I’m late?

(Finally, under an envelope,
I find a pencil…)

Gathered actions
Bother time.

Unreason rhymes,
As a sentience.

(And, with pencil in hand,
I finish my write.)

Other than when I am away from the computer I do not use writing utensils...and that fortunately or unfortunately is where i tend to be pretty much most of the time, in front of this addictive electronic gizmo...Ed

I've been there, Erin. A pencil, a pencil, my laptop
for a pencil. It's not easy to chew on a laptop. Well
done, as usual. -gene.
