a typewriter poem

correction:
rhythms of your speech
learned from finger flutter keys
drop 
those 
words
on me
real slow
i need each letter
to puncture me
typewriter retching 
bend the ribbon back
enter, return
correction: smudge
a little white paint
no backspace
only 
erase
snap back 
to left-hand margin
make your comments
grammar has no place
in typeface
there aren’t any rules
play me
play me
real slow
enter, return
correction: erase
