could I borrow a pen, PleaSe?

In a world where words,

Were all I had,

I wrote on any canvas,

I could get my hands on,

Egg - white walls,

Coffee stained napkins,

Blank grey,

Columns in newspapers,

With temporarily stolen,

Pens, pencils, sometimes crayons,

From counters of gas stations,

And apron pockets of kind cafe waitresses.

- Could I borrow a pen, please?
