pay attention

The basement is cold, and the radio goes on and on. The crisp white paper in the typewriter is blank. Years ago Jackson bought himself a inexpensive manual typewriter "Just to pound on, and see what happens." All his friends said "cool." A few weeks after the purchase the typewriter was on the floor next to Jackson's seldom used desk. It is just big enough to stick out one quarter of an inch past the desk. Just enough o catch Jackson's little toe when he is not paying attention. Which is often.
