Too Late To Revise
~Too Late to Revise~
A black typewriter
tossed into the weeds,
its keys exposed to dust
and downpours,
makes poetry that a bird,
perched in a nearby tree
finds questionable.
But the bird's interest is tweeked;
its mind open,
while new lines give rise
to rare sounds heard only by those
in solitude, because there's
nothing but a black typewriter's
rusty dream of a poem within earshot,
as the rain begins to tap, tap,
upon a bent and broken thing of the past.

It's quite a lovely scene.
