manual (20170719)

the most pleasant sound
in the world is a typewriter

key striking a fresh piece of
paper and leaving a smudge free
ink-filled crater

behind

a close second the sound
of the bell when the right margin
has been attained
like a marathon runner
crossing

a finish line only to hear
the advance of the platen
zipper crunch slide to the left

finish line is just
another word for starting line
