Adventures with an Olivetti
(In which the scrivener violates his rule never to write in the first-person)
My bed was a Sears & Roebuck sleeping bag
And my world headquarters that old MG;
An Olivetti portable processed
My words, my fresh young words, that no one read
I owned more books than clothes, and only those few
That could be stowed in the passenger seat;
I fancied myself the new Rod McKuen
And I wasn’t - but I remember the road
When the world was new, adventures every day
And I miss that - but mattresses are nice
