to walk by a set of ink pens
in the store
without buying another pack
of them.
fine pointed,
or roller ball, black or blue
ink.
i haven't counted,
for who has the time
for that,
but i do believe i have over
three hundred
and seventy-nine
ink pens in my house.
in drawers,
on tables,
in pockets.
in the cubby holes of my car.
don't even ask me about
pairs of black socks.
