Carbon Paper and Ribbon

Thoughts that were formed
so very long ago
frozen in time
on a smooth, glossy piece
of black carbon paper

Memories
through written word
sentiment seldom heard
forever embedded
on a typewriter ribbon

Carbon paper and ribbon
messages of life
hidden amongst the chaos
encrypting everything
our hearts need to say
