them days when
we didn’t have personal tablets
we had personal chalk boards
then ceramic inkwells
filled by the ink monitor
stick pens with a nib
crossed in splattering
scratched in concentration
they made good darts
did them pens
i still have the black spot
it is marked etc
not even a gold star
the sum total
sinking like the ink
in the warm milk
cream crated
on the doorstep
of a door ajar
