A super short poem. (smols)
Too sick to write more.
End words is so cool! One line I’m puzzling about is “please away” - like many of the other words combinations, you can read it multiple ways. In this case I’m stuck on either “please (go) away” or “please (make me happy/verb) away.” I realize there’s no answer, but it’s fun to think about. Have a great weekend!
