On Pens
By Christopher Munroe
You can’t OWN a pen.
They’re like butterflies that way. Or disposable lighters.
They don’t BELONG to anyone, they simply are. They’re out in the world,
existing, and while one might stay with you for a while, the time will
inevitably come when it must move on.
Somebody will borrow your pen and, thoughtlessly, it will be
put in that person’s pocket, never
to be seen again.
And, when that comes, there’s nothing you can do to prevent
it. It’s pointless to try.
Just say goodbye to your pen, remember the time you and it
shared fondly, and move on…
