The Bendy Pen

One day, in the ward,
He went through the few
Books available

With his bendy pen,
The only writing
Implement allowed,

Looking for any
Use of first-person
Singular, striking

It out and writing
First-person plural
Or second-person

Pronouns in its place.
Novels went quickly.
The solitary

Anthology of
Lyric poetry
Ate up a whole day.
