Seated at my desk
I reach for a stapler
And grab some papers
Applying light pressure
But my office supplies
Have no bite
No more staples

I open a drawer
Where I find refills
Thankful I thought of
Stocking up on some
For the next time I need them
Along with some pens
And clear scotch tape

Although my school years
Are far behind me
I still remember
Standing in queue at church
Where a charity helped make
The back to school season
More affordable

Fortunate that such arrangements ...
