A Mechanical Extension
By fumi-tome ohta, High Desert Branch
How can it be
that a mechanical extension
be my dearest friend
It’s true!
My fine-point blue gel pen
shares my thoughts and heart
who knows my every thought
shares my hopes, loves and dreams
family, friends and yes, even at
conventions
meeting, greeting handwriting in blue
Hello,
My name is Amie
Dear Mechanical Extension
my dear fine-point blue gel pen
let’s continue traveling together
sentiments in blue
yesterday, today, forever
Thank you, dear friend,
Thank you so very much.
