Another Time
holding by the
handle like a
handbag or
small suitcase
making my way
from attic to my
son's room no
we're not moving
unpack your things
allow me to
show you
this
seemingly antiquated
marvelous machine
as his eyes widened
still unaware of what
he was seeing
sliding off the
cover raising
the teeth like
keys that actually
do form a smile
while with a chin
below of buttons
numbers and letters
he grasps and grabs
an arctic and to some
account archaic blank
sheet of paper reeling
in a feeling feeding
the machine now
knowing he types
