User:Bastonero

Michael Bastonero is not the name he was born with. Michael Bastonero is a copyeditor. He is a functionary. Sometimes he is brash, dazzling. Michael Bastonero is a poet, but only a poet with a copyeditor's heart. Michael Bastonero is idling, biding: what he does best. Michael Bastonero's typewriter says: "To save time is to lengthen life." But the typewriter knows as well as he that to lengthen life is a waste of time.
