~~At the Speed of Typing~~

Ninety-words a minute--

Tapping at the speed of sound.

Imperfect spelling if I watch--

Perfection if my eyes are closed.

At the speed of typing,

I etch down my very soul.

At the speed of typing,

I make myself whole.

Letters and numbers appear on the screen,

Bouncing away into the night.

Sounds shimmer and shift,

Like the mirage in my mind.

At the speed of typing, I'll tell my story.

I'll make you regret your name.

At the speed of typing, I'll ruin

Everything, and rebuild it again.

 A little blog for the outpouring

Of my muse,

And for the recording

Of my pain.

Capture me tonight.

At the speed of typing,

Release me and drain me.

At the speed of typing,

Forget and forgive me.

I have to run tonight.

Typos override my words.

My fingers stiffen.

At the speed of typing,

I'll weep tears of pain.

At the speed of typing,

I'll ruin my body again.

At the speed of typing,

I'll imperfectly record perfect dreams.

I'll capture the moments

In beeswax and coffee stains.
