Undefiled Mechanical Construct

By Daniel Hoeweler

I remember my first typewriter The clickity click noise of the type bars The rolling sounds of the cylinder knob The thump of the character keys An elementary machine That doesn’t contaminate my writing With suggestions, corrections or advice Something Bukowsky, Hemingway and Orwell used To write their great works Free from the poisonous touch Of advice driven text editors Their works live with a pulse Their sentences throb with a heartbeat Unadulterated and pure Free from tech filtered plagiarism
