Ballet

Ballet
Writing in long hand

on a blank piece of paper

seems almost quaint now.


Ink streaming black like a ballet dancer

looping beautifully

back and forth,

over and through.


This pen writes thoughts

not of its own mind.


A creature subject

to letters willed forth.


It dances

beautifully

in the clutches of its partner.


It dances

in the only way

it knows how.
