To Digital From Paper

 
Have you ever noticed;

That when you write something down

and then type it out

it loses about two thirds of it's apparent length?

As if technology is mocking

and making everything efficient

even the breaking of hearts

and the baring of souls?

That grinning gremlin

happily devouring hours of work

and leaving only the scraps

telling you exactly how much your writing is worth

and laughing as you despair?
