Free verse № 137933
Giving in to a boring suggestion
A highly enthused awl
is presently making its way to China
just outside my 10 X 10 holding pen
where paper clips, loose change, and an
empty soup container quiver like
a martyr with badly timed second thoughts.
Pens and pencils give into the fray
While a wayward phone and staple remover
stubbornly bore off temptation
and I, less inclined to resist,
il o h ae f y rmln rtes
Yed t te ft o m tebig bohr.

'a martyr'...excellent line!
"il o h ae f y rmln rtes
Yed t te ft o m tebig bohr." translated = yield(ed) to the fate of my trembling brothers...the guys in in office didn't catch the bouncing characters so I'm not so sure my little lettering play was detected here.
