Poem -
Keyboard Man
I am
a keyboard man
living in a touchscreen world..
Wiseass kids mock dinosaur me
as being hopelessly obsolete
and out of touch
with current modern realities ..
Their assessment
of my lack of basic competence
regarding all things tech
is one hundred percent accurate..
Though I freely profess
despite my device ignorance
I do possess common sense
that can't be found on any hard drive..
Not that any of this human insight
is transferable in any way
to the current microprocessor existence
we reside in today
rapidly growing beyond our control

Harlan Ellison typed over a hundred words a minute, on an old-school typewriter like in your picture; using just his two forefingers!!! Chris Carter (the creator of X Files) gave him a list of like ninety some odd story ideas, outside at a book signing; as Harlan had told him he could pick one story idea and write a full-length short story in thirty minutes; on the spot!
He did it too. And I still have yet to read his strange tale of The 78- Year Old Pregnant Corpse. But by yolly, someday I will!!!
