Prompt:
feature forgotten technology.

The Typewriter
Break off the key,
he urged me,
he’ll still work
humanising
the animal
with bulging teeth
so I took
cleaned
brushed
opened up its voice
and oppressed the animal
to hesitant obedience
Then
the fingerpointing move
of olympic force
like a spear
shot
through empty air
one letter
one..
we used to have strong fingers
to play the paino
creating
texts
en forte
Journalism used to be sports
