I'm a Martyr of the Keyboard
A poem by Peter S Quinn (*)
I type all day long
Into the request deep
Sometimes it’ll ping-pong
Right into my sleep
I'm a martyr of the keyboard
Going down deep under
To the alphabet lord
God of the ticktick thunder!
I'll type for a request
Just to please and be ready
I'll try to do my best
If my fingers go on steady
This and that comes out
I have no complete control
Automation knows its ways about
Around the ‘key-mole’
And keyhole
I type all day to spark
And give it a steady beat
But sometimes it’ll all lack
Except its little tweet
This maybe a dark poetry read
With not much in deeper meaning
But to somewhere it will lead
In a steady and closer

Look how much easier technology has made our lives. All we have to do is become enslaved to it.

is this micron or crow quill? either way it's beautiful line work, although i think the piece would be more balanced if the hand were placed in the upper left
