problematic child.


dear pen,

you are a Problematic Child.

your ink always leaks.

on my hands, on my bag.

you’re always running away.

rolling from my side,

sometimes missing for days.

you’re ergonomically inefficient.

you have no grip for

my hands.

but when you flow on the paper,

you are Smooth and Dark and

Brilliant.

the best pen.
