The pencil sharpener shaved the pencil
The pencil sharpener broke the tip of the pencil.
the pencil was broken
Though there were many words to write
It was left half finished
Over once again
She took the pencil and its sharpener in hand
She thought for a second, what if its tip is broken
What if the pencil is broken again…
what if the words are fallen
she affixed
a half measure smile
slowly she shook her head
what it is is the pencil sharpener is not a good one
what it is is your pencil is jerry-built
what it is is the blade of your pencil sharpener is blunt
what it was/is for both the pencil and its sharpener
a pencil in one hand, and a sharpener in the other
a bit of wording, an affixed smile
dropped from the lips
that’s that
