A typewriter made of human teeth

it was a curious machine.
as she placed her hands upon human teeth that made up the keys of the old Underwood typewriter
her fingertips touched the yellowed teeth. each one

one even had a cavity

as she began to type. it was not words that appeared on the white paper but dental imprints
she soon was writing out a code.

  1. That is spooky - where or how did such an underwood appear? I kind of like old typewriters, I grew up with them around me, I felt that controlled my mother in a spooky kind of way...

  2. something about childhood and the organic image of the typewrite from its leather like skin box and its bone like keys
