Ode to a Paperclip

Bearer of things that must be held
Holder of things that must be borne
Binder of information that must be heeded
Harbinger of that which must be bound

Benevolent messenger of papers heaped
Hauler of articles while arms are bowed
Bent steel, bound in hell
Hardened by the merciless bureaucracy

Hail thy power

Maker of chains
Breaker of locks
Servant to those in office
