which
one
of
my
weird
children
cut
a
spiral
into
the
tip
of
my
pencil?

It’s like a path leading from the wood
up to the summit of the lead. They must
have used a sharp object and spun the
pencil on it.
Peculiar
or
abnormal,
it makes writing
seem like double vision.
If I
weren’t
having problems
with my vision, I
might have thought it
was funny to look at, but
through my lenses it looked
more blurrry than usual, so I
did a double take and wanted to
throw the pencil across the room,
but the art teacher in me reminded
me what I tell my students- if you tap
that pencil on the edge of the desk you
will ruin the lead inside it, so please don’t.
And there ends the most grammatically incorrect
fragmented run on sentence ever.
Happy Sunday
Love,
Amanuensis
