I had been
talking about wanting
a typewriter for a few months, probably.

she found one
bought it
paid to have it fixed
and gave it to me for Christmas.

at the time
it was one of
the best gifts I had ever gotten.

just the thing a kid
pretending to be a writer could have hoped for.

I may have used it twice.

now
it sits on the floor
of my bedroom
next to
a bag full of empty
beerbottles
clothes
the garbage can
and lamp.

it's broken
collecting dust

a lot like our relationship.
