Solution Evolution

Special opportunities arise, sometimes,
from within the system,
and don't seem to make much sense, 
or be useful, till you flex them.

I came across a broken pen, 
that bled black ink into an official form;
which I folded and unfolded 
into an accidental Rorschach.

I could see a sort of bat, 
carrying something in its claws,
maybe food, a scraggy insect, held tight​ 
(and just about covering a date: the tax form deadline).

So must have happened with a first finger, 
absurd, pointless, misdirected,
and likely born long before,
a proper nose to pick in.

But a rap and a tippy, tip, tap, tap 
and four more would soon emerge,
looking desperately for a forehead,
to surprise with a slap: "Aha!".
