without pen or paper

if you had a pen,
or a pencil you'd
leave a note
telling her how much
you love and adore her,
you'd tape it to the door,
or put it
on the table,
or on the bathroom
counter,
or on the floor
so she finds it when
she comes home.
but you don't.
you don't even have
an envelope
to write on
the back.
what's become of this
world, inkless,
without paper?
