As the Infinite Monkey
alarm clock sounded
his/
fingers reached the ultimatum
her/
wrist strapped to bedpost
silk wounds of a conquered queen
last breath of air
from now closed window
his/
typewriter needed to speak
feel fingerpad clatter,
not betrayed with her
blank page,
paper pressed his own
rolled into machine,
carbon in place,
smudges
he left as memories
on her breast
typing/
words in a clatter
his way of expressing
now what was on pages
before
black shine reflected
an eager face
cool metal sat in case
he/
extracted thought
twisted them through cerebral tubes
squeezed out of fingers
smearing machine
black gloss dulled
worn/
beaten by him
the other stirred
moving sheets
foot , ankle , white angular
showed
if a crow called she would not
hear
ink to letters
passed to page again and again
yearning to create
with a companion
he/
knew
as fifth page done,
close to exhaustion
passion being spent
on this machine,
ribbon stretched
key frottage
rubbing,
thumping,
pounding,
word penetration
lasting imprints,
more lasting than
her
