The stapler

by bea-de-vera

As I bind these sheets in a monotonous routine way I neglect to see what they are or hear what they talk about Was it just some information they needed to convey? Maybe just some words that hold some uncertainty or doubt My metal decreases and turns to rust Still I go on until my very last one Continue with no hesitation, I must Till the time will come when I say, ‘I am done’ I cannot resist, else I shall be obsolete Nor can I continue without making a mistake As my opponent does faster, I have accepted my defeat Whilst I do my last attempt, I stop and break I was used and discarded like the inanimate thing I am Pushed away from the place I called home for many years Thinking of a way to be used again, ideas I cram But to no avail, I stay in the dark bin, crying without tears
