My Pen

This old fountain pen
knows all the words,
all the secret thoughts
I've chosen to conceal
those I dare not reveal.
Had I access to those parts of me
I just might write in pencil.

Thank you. I do use a pencil from time to time, but I learned penmanship in the pre-bic era at the sharp end of a ruler and it stuck.
