Inadequate

In a room behind plexiglass
Underground
Sits a typewriter on a desk
On exhibit
This room was a war room
Recirculated air
Heavy with smoke and Generals
Back then the typewriter never rested
Transcribing
Clacking urgency in Courier
Now the room is silent and musty
Except for the looky-loos
Pointing
Mumbling at the relics behind the plexiglass
Not one uses these machines that won the biggest war
Inadequate
They have newer wars and machines and Generals
But they do look to the artifact
Curious
Unsure of what they are becoming
