an ode to my keyboard:my keyboard has been good to me, it's been through a lot with me.
there was the time i switched it to dvorak,
and covered it in blank labels in a vain attempt to learn.
there was the time i drew a smiley face on it.
there were the times i dropped it, albeit unintentionally.
now i look at my keyboard, it is dirty and smudged
the spacebar likes to put two spaces instead of one in random places.
there are still remnants of those blank lables i put on so many years ago.
there is the solid layer of hair/epidermis/dust/food particles,
and yes, scattered pieces of glitter down between the keys.
but i still like my keyboard, it is an old friend to me.
it types the way i am used to having a keyboard type.
if i were to get a new one, i'd have to spend three years breaking it in,
it'd have to wait til it was in the condition this one is in,
before i'd like it as much as mine.
