I must be willing to give up what I am in order to become what I will be.

    Office Aisle


    Office Aisle

     Oh office aisle
    Your pens & paper
    Draw me like new
    lotto games
    Unscratched promises
    and wagers
    of wonders you'll coax from my brain

    tiny tubes of unleaked stories
    desperate whispering of the page
    former trees that beg to feel the carving of a fine point's blade

    Pilot, Bic & EverSharp
    artists pads & index cards
    Sanford, Cross & Mead & Parker
    Paper Mate & Magic Marker

    Spiral pads of every size
    One will surely make me wise
    And see that journal bound in leather?
    Now there's a key to writing better.

    Regardless of the store I've entered
    I'm drawn to stationery center
    compelled to find there something new
    in lead or tip or grip or hue

    How do you suck me in each time?
    And how come I can never find
    one of those million pads or pens
    when siezed by actual writing whims

    Oh office aisle
    I swear I'm through
    I'll never buy again from you
    I'm headed for the Staples Door
    and..

    wait..

    I've never seen THAT pen before...
