BACKSPACE




I just want to say -


But the problem, you see,

is the medium.

No Whiteout for the spoken word.  


And my voice sounds better in print - 

deeper, authoritative, not thin and worn

and  patched with 


um.... 


you know... 


false starts and skips.

(paragraph break?)


Rather, coherence projected onscreen, visualized,

thanks to the Backspace key and Time (sweet thing) - 

"DELETE 

and think about what you want to say"

(paragraph break)


Impact, without the awkward pauses.


And, here: 

My finished piece to our conversation;

a Declaration (capitalized), isn't it pretty?
