It has been such a long time since I've touched a typewriter. Strange tothink that I used to work on a typewriter. I worked on a typewriter backin the day when I moved down here and started hanging out in Thomkins Square park. Boy those days were fun. This typewriter and this park are making  me feel sentimental about my youth and grateful that I had such a great youth. And grateful that I'm having such a great older adult life too. lost .. or refounded. having a break of what? am i looking for something i never will get? suddenli huge turns to narrow. there s no more space in my head but my heart empty..how can i transfer the void. shift. lift. who

is going to invent an elevator that goes from head to haert and back to head. i am waiting

Sitting in this little wooden box, typing on this old manual typewriteris not an experience that I have previously had. I enjoy having a squarespace in front of me, and another to my left, encasing the breezey  tree branches.

July 5thThere is something intimidating about writing this...knowing it will be stored in the open door digital holding room of the intternet... even tho i do this all the time. there is something different in having to put weight into the keys...We watched the fireworks last night- everyone was there  looking through their screens.
