"Pens Don't Work"

The pens never work in this flat.

I am writing these words,

before another one runs out.

No matter how many "freebies" we collect -

or how many packets we buy:

I am forever scribbling

desperately

in notepads,

and on used envelopes.

The pens never work in this flat.

Time to end this poem now -

quit while I'm ahead -

before the ink
