them days when

 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
