Twizzlers taste better than my pen.
So soft and strawberry-scented,
they bend to the will
of my powerful chomps,
freely offering a moment of satisfaction
whenever I wish; no arguing or resistance.
Meanwhile, my Bic Ultra
sits in between the molars of
my right jaw
rigid and demanding I GET TO WORK
and WRITE...RIGHT...NOW.
Plus, the pen doesn't SNAP
when I pull it from my mouth.
It's tough love, unyielding in its
plastic coating
and nowhere close to
tasting as sweet.
