I am just eighteen and God-damn-it I have a white hair. One single white hair which is as long as the distance between the Esc button on your keyboard to the F8 button.. You get the size, right. Fortunately, the whole length of it is not white. The first 5 cms are silvery white, the [...]

I am writing poems that are making absolutely no sense. This one on my first keyboard (I still have it safely ;-)) came to me after I read Bijoy’s posting about his keyboard’s misbehaviour…
