An Ode to Mechanical Pencils with #2 Lead
November 24, 2009
Your color so yellow,
imitating a real pencil.
Your lead so fine,
so precise,
so pointy.
I never have to sharpen you,
thus friends forever.
Or at least until your lovely lead
runs out.
But I just get a new one,
one of your twins.
That perfectly pink
cylindrical eraser,
that superb lead-filled weight.
O #2 Papermate Sharpwriter USA,
you carry me through tests and quizes,
timed writings and essays.
I carry you in my backpack.
We are together,
joined at the hand,
your ever-sharp point at the paper.
How I love your smooth and thin lines.
You're perfect.
I love you Papermate Sharpwriter #2.
