the red pencil sharpener

i haven't sharpened
a pencil,
the point of a number two,
since last year around this same
time.
tax time.
the little
plastic sharpener,
red, so
that i wouldn't lose it
is gone.
hidden beneath
sheafs of paper and
other assorted
tax related items that
i store in a shoe
box.
oh my, the white out
is dried
out too, and the calculator
is out of
paper.
