the words crawled like worms
from beneath my finger nails
the letters on the keyboard

I was out in the south east earlier this afternoon. A sprawling nowhere of the newest suburbs that are (encroaching on) getting to know the old acreages and slowly dwindling farmlands. A calf and its mother lay nose to tail as the wind sheared rain beat about them. The weather continued to bluster and arse about as it does in this part of my world.

pixels formed letters
the cursor flashed
letters formed words
the cursor flashed
words formed sentences
falling in in an awkward
F Troop muster kind of way
non sequential nonsense

of today
the cursor flashed
lines are cut and pasted
there is the occasional Shift Delete
everything else
out from under the nails

Ctrl V
repeat

Yeah! Why not? Good one Brenton!
Stuck on the image of the worms crawling out from under the nails. That was excellent. Well done.
