Without a Pen

What is a writer without a pen?
Are you doing this for real
or is it a put on because
you’d rather pretend than
use words to mend the broken?
Or sculpt sentences that
straighten out crooked thoughts.
Or produce paragraphs that
plant seeds of purpose.
What is a pen but a metaphor
for the power of our words?
