Early morning (or very late night)
Carbon and ink eraser, with the bristles
Before Whiteout
The Corona clacked away
Her fingers forcing the old keys
through the ribbon onto the bond paper
My latest masterpiece, assignment
for Junior or High school
My 1st champion and typist
Encouraging and cajoling
Railing against the procrastination
But accepting the edits, changes
That might lead to the A
and a good college
for her first-born.
