well-worn typewriters

The best thing about typewriters is that thick sound you get each time you type something in, its not a sissy click like a computer keyboard but a satisfying and final thud. Because not one letter is erasable, nor is it pastable, no phrase is capable of being lifted magically to some other place on the page. No. With typewriters you ponder, you meditate over what you will pound out, everything is permanent. If you fuck up you start over again, slower and with more focus.
