The gold tip seems to gleam in the twilight,
The curves and indentations somehow,
Magnified,
They seem almost surreal in the
Near black of night.
A drop of ink,
Falls
Amost smoothly
From the pen tip, to the paper.
As it flies down,
You see reflected in its gleam,
Faces
Faces
Faces
Of all those,
Whom you are signing off.
Let the pen slowly
slowly,
Touch the paper
The dotted line
Draw the lines and curves of the D
Scratch out, the points of the E
With force you create the vertex of the A
And with the penultimate T
You follow with H
You place the lid back on the pen.
Engraved on it: Aim High.
You have done just that,
By signing off millions
To die.
