THE PIN

Arriving at the space
Where everything hinged
I saw it...flapping in the wind
Around and back, again

I took out the pin

And watched matter
Fly in all directions
Motions and potions
Casting out for perfections

Stuck with the pen

Trying write a program
That will return power
To ideas that must form and live
Within every passing hour

One prick of the pin

Blood will surface
Those hungry to eat, will rise
Gathering nothing more
Than pesty flies

To the pen

....SPIRIT WINS!!!
