#google by Sonja Benskin Mesher

it is a simple thing.

 

we hope for independence, privacy.

 

so we google, ask advice and listen.

 

take our time, let the thought wander,

heal ourselves.

 

 

we can even mend the  typewriter,

gifted by a friend, now there is a lovely

word.

 

soap cleans the ink away;  wind will

blow the water, dry the chimney,

clear the floors.

 

we have kept the old ribbon,

in a box.
