HOW QWERTY CAN ONE GET?
HOW QWERTY CAN ONE GET?
tactactac - tack!
goes one letter after
an other each
tactactac - tack
becoming a clickety
clackety word.
The typewriter
spits out sound
and sometimes sense
each line ending in the clack
of the returning carriage
the ping of its bell
the poem snatched
from the machine's jaws
snatched from the nothing
from whence it came.
The page wearing its new words
like some glorious clothes
that changed
the whole character
of what could be
said.
