remington
the miracle of
mechanics
rods, pulleys, cogs
a parade of simple
machines
nowhere to go but
electronics
or is that true?
could we take you
along a different
path, and
not that of nanotech
into the mechanical
sunshine
where all is push
and pull
and squaring of
circles?
I like this, of course!
ReplyDeleteIt reminds me what Mark Twain wrote to his publisher:
ReplyDeleteGENTLEMEN: PLEASE DO NOT USE MY NAME IN ANY WAY, PLEASE
DO NOT EVEN DIVULGE THE FACT THAT I OWN A
MACHINE, I HAVE ENTIRELY STOPPED USING THE TYPEWRITER, FOR THE REASON THAT I
COULD NOT WRITE A LETTER TO ANYBODY WITHOUT RECEIVING A REQUEST BY RETURN MAIL THAT I WOULD NOT ONLY DESCRIBE THE MACHINE BUT STATE WHAT PROGRESS I HAD MADE IN THE USE OF IT, ETC., ETC. I DON'T LIKE TO WRITE LETTERS, AND SO I DON'T WANT PEOPLE TO KNOW THAT I OWN THIS CURIOSITY BREEDING LITTLE JOKER. YOURS TRULY,
SAML L. CLEMENS. (Kittler 192-3)
Happy to be mentioned in the same breath as him!
