Two Spaces<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I don\u2019t always feel old
(Only when I get out of bed
And try walking
Across the bedroom floor)
I don\u2019t drive with my
Turn signal on
Nor do I drive slowly
(Full disclosure, Officer,
I always adhere to the speed limit)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I\u2019ve never yelled at kids
To get off my lawn
Or keep balls that have landed
In my yard<\/p>\n\n\n\n
But c\u2019mon!
I grew up in a typewriter world!
The snap and pop of metal keys
Striking the page through the
Inky red-black ribbon<\/p>\n\n\n\n
You have lived your easy life
With word-processed efficiency
Backspacing and deleting
Adding your little circumflexes
And \u201ctyping\u201d in Comic Sans (ugh)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I don\u2019t begrudge you
And rather enjoy the simplicity
Myself
But please, for the love of all things
