Printer Poem
Found in the paper tray
Coffin of lost thoughts*
There are two sides
To a document and
An unseen hand
On the manual setting
Turns and returns
Or doesn’t
The other side
Didn’t print
Where are the words?
Inside the machine
Or in the ether
Suspended on a cable
You, unknown printer poet,
I pull your page
