| Ted's Typewriter | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
| by Dave Payne, Sr. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
| My voice is silent. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
| I've nothing to live for but a thirty-year-old Royal mo. no. 440 Manual typewriter, yellowed sheets of paper and black gunpowder. Alone in my cabin, I transfer feelings onto a sheet of paper, A melting pot of letters, mixed up, jumbled across the page. My typewriter hears- the words I do not say. It knows- my fears, my frustrations. It has typed for the world- my Manifesto And still they laugh at it. They laugh at me. And I, the man in the hooded sweatshirt and sunglasses, Laugh back. |
