Taken from improvisation on the type writer

Taken from improvisation on the type writer.


• Has been untouched since about 1976
• It was my grandmother - novelist
• She didn’t have a life
• When I was younger, there was an old lady down the street.
• I remember the sound of it
• The movement of it
• I don’t remember seeing it
• Maybe you wonder what she wrote about it
• It seemed a bit of a friend to me
• Press down hard to get.. on it
• You can’t use the ‘s’ no more
• Been over 20 years since they used this
• Brings it all back you see, the inadequacy
• Write randomness and listen to it type
• And if you take it apart you could see words on the ribbon
