The Brother Word Processor was my friend
\nmy first year out of college.
\nIt was a small beast that sat
\non a chair in the corner of my room
\nwhen not in use,
\nwhich was seldom.<\/p>\n
It printed, if not the first play
\nI wrote, the one I had most contention with
\nsharing and convincing anyone to produce.<\/p>\n

\nminted, and was wasn’t about to take chances on an experimental
