the black stapler

i stare at the black stapler on my
desk
that i stole in spite
from the last office job i had.
i try to remember
the last time i used it.
maybe nine years ago
when i had to staple
up some divorce papers to send
to my lawyer.
it's full of staples
and ready to go when needed
again.
so i just can't part with it.
at least not yet.
there's a will to make.
