Forget what they say about
how you write so oddly
always on paper first
typing when you like it
when you want to work it out.
If it works in your head and
translates to the page in a manner
you find sufficient, you need
no other permission or to even
hear the nay-sayers’ expressions.
Forget what they say
it’s your thing
let your best words flow
and hear your lines sing.
