The Pen is Mightier than the Sword

Brimming

The sound of typewriter keys

punched quickly as I read...

line-by-line wading deeper.

First, adjectives crash over my shoes--

red, swollen, a throbbing beat.

Then verbs flail about my waist--

thrashing, bounding, splashing.

Until, finally, nouns swallow me

in doubt and solitude, urgency resounds.

The typewriter plays no more:

atrophic fingers perpetuated

in a jar of formaldehyde.
