The mark of a pen
the smoothness of this red
as it bleeds down and through the paper
a new look is still in labor
the ball point architectural
and the gel smooth
the pen has hit the paper and etched its mark
living longer than a pencil and marker
a pen is a true life walker
this is the true mark of a pen
