And grandma said

blab away,
are we helping each other?
enthusiasm is a blessing for the young
artists find ways to justify
time spent chasing shadows
we are not supposed to be crazy all the time
there’s a crack in the handwriting
the ink jar should never run dry
nothing is wrong with anybody
if something is wrong with everybody
this is writing, it’s where life flows from
it should not be allowed to struggle.
