with pen in hand

I was writing a letter
the other day,
but forgot how to form
words using
a pen with my hand
moving it across
the paper. despite
all of my catholic
school upbringing
in penmanship, with
my knuckles being
bloodied
by the penguin nuns,
now it looked
like chicken scratch.
my right hand and left
hand had found
equality. neither
having the skill
to make a legible
sentence.
but the person I
was writing to
had no computer,
and they didn't text.
so the only way to
communicate was by
scribbling this note
by hand and dropping it
into a mail box.
the end must be near.
