comfort zone

my keyboard
is filthy
the s is completely worn off
as is the e, l, n, and the poor o
the t gets hit funny so it’s hanging
and the m is crying for mommy
forget the spacebar
cap lock is grimy
backspace has seen better days
little fuzz balls hiding in the cracks
and smudges of wear and tear everywhere
geez
don’t I ever wash my hands
crimminey what a mess
and the mouse pad
o dear
can you wash a mouse pad
it used to be blue and two corners still are
the rest hmmm faded to dirt, ecru, filth, me
my keyboard
is filthy
but
it is my friend
my hands know they’re home
it is comfort zone
it is the place that I can hang out
and tell you all about it
my therapy
my sanity
my lint trap
bearing the marks of my life
taking the brunt of my anger
and frustration
my love
and my joy
my means of communication
the sharing of my heart
with
you
filthy yep
worn out yep
but working just fine
my keyboard is filthy
but it is me all me
and I love every inch of it
how much do these suckers cost anyway?

I just took a gander at your poems and notinced you have every letter in the alphabet except for q and x. So, if you don't mind a suggestion, please write "QUIET STORM" AND "X" (about a ex-love of some sort). Then you will have completed the alphabet. Don't know how long it will take me to read all of you work, but I am working on it. :)

YOu could always buy a new mouse pad - unless there is an emotional attachment. I wouldn't know, men only get attached to cars.
Loved this, and it reminded me of the project teams I used to manage. Couldn't see their screens for gonks and if yoiu touched a keyboard it would take an hour to prise your fingers off.

My keyboard is completely rubbed off, the whole thing. Let me tell you, it makes my home-row keys alot better.

Comfortable?...yes but if it gives you troubles eventually...it is close to $14 or less for some replacements. My best keyboard cost me that much and has worked the longest of them all. Love your work, so hang on to that keyboard to the last minute.

Wonderful, Josie!! Ha, poor little keyboards, rapped and tapped, pounded and loved, what a "treasure" they have become in, and to, our lives! Enjoyed this very much!
