Personifying Similar Objects
June 3, 2014
The shredder eats the paper
feeling like an obese American
never having to worry about starvation
constantly feeding like a wolf
The busy office treats the shredder well
The Pen
The pen bleeds its ink
on every paper it touches
feeling like a slave
being forced to bleed circular weird shapes
The pen has no control of its body or blood flow
The Pencil
The pencil carves it’s led into the paper
Then sheds its pink hairs on the undesirable carvings
Always having to shave its point
feeling like a puppet
The pencils life span depends how tall it is
