Typewriter Thoughts

[Part of a poem I wrote when I was still using a typewriter]
"I wonder if it was
on a machine like this
Salman Rushdie wrote the book
that turned his life
into a story
stranger than fiction?...
Probably not...
he probably did it
on a word processor
like most everyone else
these days...
Anyway...reminds me...
how lucky I am tonight...
free to plunk on my Citation...
my curtains wide open...
and facing the street...
with no chance of an AK47
disturbing my angst...
free as a bird flying
in an indifferent sky.........."
