The
Blue Q bird pencil case Martha gave
me holds a red pencil, an HB2, a pencil-shaped sharpener, a MashiMaro eraser,
Post-Its, earbuds, a broken-armed mermaid, a screen cloth, a pen, and Liquid
Paper now Ziploc’d because it once ran free and leaked between zipper teeth and
it took awhile to wear that white
goopy shit down to a clean close.
I covet that pencil case! Nice one.
ReplyDeleteFind myself wondering about that mermaid.
ReplyDeleteI bet I know about the mermaid.
DeleteBecause a beautiful pencil case is even more beautiful when it holds important, if messy, things.
ReplyDeleteThat is a glorious pencil case.
ReplyDeleteLove the visual of the last line!
ReplyDeleteAre you headed to school?
ReplyDeleteSure sounds like it, doesn't it? Just old-fashioned editorial tools kept in the briefcase...
