Between the Lead and the Pulp


Between the lead and the pulp
Lies a world where unfurlled
Is a bond stronger than love:

Write in pencil a word, any word....
Now, erase it.
Look closely at the paper--

An impression is left, see?
The only way to eliminate it
Is to destroy it!

That's why we should watch
What we say and do:
People are like paper; Our words, a pencil.
