i'll put it in pencil

i put nothing in ink anymore,
pencil only.
dates, appointments,
arrivals,
vacations.
everything is ephemeral
it seems.
the last marriage
degree, was written in pencil, 
i insisted
and took out my
number two pencil
and signed lightly on the dotted
line.
the rubber eraser came in
handy a few months
later.
