LETTER
You said to me if you write me
Don't just use the typewriter
Add a line in your own hand
A word a nothing oh a little something
Yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes
But my Remington is beautiful
I really love it and the work goes well
My writing is sharp and clear
It's very easy to see that I did the typing
There are white spaces only I know how to make
See how my page looks
Still to please you I add in ink
Two or three words
And a big blot of ink
So you can't read them
– Blaise Cendrars (1887-1961), translated by Ron Padgett
