LETTERS MERGING AND SCRAMBLING
Three days ago, my ophthalmologist performed my first cataract operation,
All went well I must say,
But I am seeing double today,
So please everybody who I have answered with persistent determination,
Excuse my typing, incorrect spelling and my intense unrelenting frustration.

Breathe in, breathe out, start typing
Back straight, shoulders down. Straighten the computer. Stop staring at the purple walls.
Light the candle once, twice, three times -- why won’t it light? --
before the flame finally catches,
the scent of pine blooming among the wisps of smoke.
Breathe in, breathe out. Start typing.
Sunlight slants across my fingertips, and I turn to face the source
impossibly far

Typing Dots
And so the time has come to sleep
I relish it because I know
Sweet dreams of you will come to me
And when they do I'll tell you things
That while awake I couldn't say
Such things that go beyond skin deep
But in those dreams are all okay

But to my amazement we were free.
We could do CCC, or DDD... Even ZZZ

Typing Words On My Old Royal Typewriter Letters- Words and Poetry
Ole to yon poet writer of words
Yet engaging tarring rhythmically graphics
As all four corners images edging
I have dreamed of these those sketches
I heard an endearing, developing edging
That moment my soul grew Polaroid™
Much I marveled this irresistible press release
Extra-extra read all about it
I remember I was benefiting, computer buffering
By the grave I saw the waded balled

What Are You Typing
I have to deliberate an idea for about a month he said.
I began to type.
It forms slowly, sometimes in a painful way, he whines.
I am half listening.
Words are pinging onto the page with rapid precision.
I do not understand how anyone can write a worthwhile poem
in less than three weeks, he tells me.
Bam.
Poem number one is

Off the Top: Just Typing
This wasn't planned, I don't know what to say
Just feel crammed, this writer's block won't go away
So I thought I shouldn't think
Maybe take an extended blink
Stare into the darkness and feel the dark I see
Stare at the empty to try and fix the emptiness in me
Can't think of much else to talk about
But if

Typing, fingers.... saying "Kind" words today.
Blank paper now coming alive with true love.
Words for you that will fit like a fine glove.

I Have Been Told, Ca
I have been told, when I use the compute it always goes awry.
I have been told, do not blame the computer it is just a crazy machine.
I have been told, do not anguish over my typing.
I have been told, if I dream and assuage about my words I will feel better.
I have been told, I

Perpetually Typing
Clothes used to matter. Now I don’t even fix supper.
There is food here
Thanks to my husband.
I am typing
All the time
Perpetually typing
Delighting in it
Stuck to a computer
Hours upon hours
Throwing down my truth
So when I die
People can throw the clothes out
But maybe
Just
maybe
Please
maybe
they will not
throw out my words.
Finally reading them for the very first time….

"Page up"
Dear John,
"Enter" the time when you'd drive me up to the lake to cherish the scenery's beauty, and we'd witness the same in our love-locked eyes. Like our weekend adventures together, you were my dream "Esc." Your laughter reminds me of "Home," a place I could forever dwell

I Am Always Typing
Hello! She said. A cheery friendly hello. I was typing
Because I am always typing. I barely recognized her voice.
When I turned I knew we had an appointment.
I am great at appointments after I see your face.
Not so great before I see it because I always forget.
Yes I do have a calendar.
But when I pops

C and V Gone Forever
C and V are gone forever
Punched too hard
Copy and Paste
Space bar holding court
Wanting a rally to protest
The heaviness of my fingers.
I slap them happily
Typing 85 words a minute
Unconcerned about their silly protest.
