00:00:00.660 --> 00:00:01.980 align:middle line:90%
The Typewriter's the Kind.

00:00:01.980 --> 00:00:05.870 align:middle line:90%


00:00:05.870 --> 00:00:08.870 align:middle line:84%
The typewriter's the
kind of heavy gray

00:00:08.870 --> 00:00:11.870 align:middle line:90%
that's good for leaning on.

00:00:11.870 --> 00:00:15.680 align:middle line:84%
I sit in front-- that's not
true anymore of typewriters.

00:00:15.680 --> 00:00:17.210 align:middle line:84%
Forgive me for
interrupting myself.

00:00:17.210 --> 00:00:18.835 align:middle line:84%
You know that's one
of my great regrets

00:00:18.835 --> 00:00:21.530 align:middle line:84%
about the electronic age, you
can't lean on your typewriter

00:00:21.530 --> 00:00:22.280 align:middle line:90%
anymore, you know.

00:00:22.280 --> 00:00:25.790 align:middle line:84%
It collapses in a little
plastic heap of letters,

00:00:25.790 --> 00:00:27.380 align:middle line:90%
you know, dials and daisies.

00:00:27.380 --> 00:00:29.510 align:middle line:90%
And who needs it, you know?

00:00:29.510 --> 00:00:32.330 align:middle line:90%
I want something I can lean on.

00:00:32.330 --> 00:00:34.820 align:middle line:84%
The typewriter is the
kind of heavy gray

00:00:34.820 --> 00:00:36.770 align:middle line:90%
that's good for leaning on.

00:00:36.770 --> 00:00:41.930 align:middle line:84%
I sit in front of it with
holes torn in my meanings.

00:00:41.930 --> 00:00:44.330 align:middle line:84%
Or a heart so full
of complication I

00:00:44.330 --> 00:00:46.880 align:middle line:90%
can't even start to start.

00:00:46.880 --> 00:00:49.790 align:middle line:84%
And on the radio the
cello's unaccompanied.

00:00:49.790 --> 00:00:52.610 align:middle line:84%
And on the hour the
news is entendu.

00:00:52.610 --> 00:00:55.340 align:middle line:84%
I lay my arms upon
the typewriter,

00:00:55.340 --> 00:00:59.570 align:middle line:84%
my head upon my arms,
and breathe, and breathe,

00:00:59.570 --> 00:01:05.239 align:middle line:84%
and breathe, and there is
all the cool immutability

00:01:05.239 --> 00:01:07.910 align:middle line:90%
a fevered human needs.

00:01:07.910 --> 00:01:11.300 align:middle line:84%
Its current humming
constant like the speed

00:01:11.300 --> 00:01:13.610 align:middle line:90%
of light or fact of water.

00:01:13.610 --> 00:01:16.040 align:middle line:84%
There is death on
Earth this moment.

00:01:16.040 --> 00:01:18.680 align:middle line:84%
There is death on
Earth this moment.

00:01:18.680 --> 00:01:21.740 align:middle line:90%
Always is already.

00:01:21.740 --> 00:01:26.360 align:middle line:84%
Then I can get up and
mend and celebrate

00:01:26.360 --> 00:01:29.255 align:middle line:84%
and see the endless
world's unsaveability.

00:01:29.255 --> 00:01:36.272 align:middle line:90%


00:01:36.272 --> 00:01:39.380 align:middle line:84%
And you thought
it was for typing.

00:01:39.380 --> 00:01:41.000 align:middle line:90%
