Ball Point Pens

One advantage of surviving six decades is greater perspective on the present.

I was writing in my journal with a ball point pen.
I got it for free at a trade show long ago.
It is a good quality pen that has served me well.

Then I recalled the first ball point pens I used as a child.
They sometimes skipped and leaked.
They left spots of ink on the paper.

Before that I used cartridge fountain pens in school
Those could be a bigger mess.

I am grateful for the advancing of technologies related to pens.


I see you there silent servant
