"Sometimes I feel small...then I remember I have my pen." The narrator lifts himself up through his art, creating precise, fantastical black-and-white drawings. Each features the fedora-ed narrator (presumably a young Myers), but this is ultimately a democratic effort: "There are a million pens in the world / and each one has a million worlds inside it...let those worlds inside your pen out!"
