The Typewriter

Some winter day,
In Orson's realm...
Or was it just a film?

One Paris night,
Along The Seine streams...
Or was it in my dreams?

I saw them, spies,
I heard all the cries...
Or had I been dreaming?

A machine gun
Would not stop to run...
Or was it still this film?

I woke up, then,
To grab a new pen...
Could THAT all make MY film?

The typewriter
let her fingers run...
WHO'LL STOP THIS MACHINE GUN!?

Thanks for coming so often to pay a visit to my poems and add new comments, dear Andrea! It"s true that the mood of the day can change our interpretation of a text we "ve already known before; and suddenly comes a new image, a new aspect, new sounds and new colours! So, you are welcome at any time! Hugs, Hanitra
