Why isnāt there yet
an early school drop off
for kids to run around safely
before sitting for hours?
(too late for me,
just imagining the difference
of an alternative universe)

I canāt generalize,
but Boo would sooner starve or eat garbage than taste dog food;
we have to add crumbled dehydrated chicken treats,
AKA āflavor burst,ā
for him to empty the bowl
There are two wolves inside him
& the smart one controls us

Thatās why I write
(especially d/c plan)
w/abundant ānegativeā space
Average intelligence
being average,
it helps most people
to have empty space
around each clause
to stop & identify
the part that tripped them
This has alternatively
been confused for poetry
and called annoying
(coincidence?)

My friends are self-selecting:
must laugh at the right times,
not just smile politely
ā¦apparently not universal!
Some people maneuver
with social skills,
I resonate w/a few š¤© people
& āthatās okay too*ā

Is there āsecret option 3ā

Could you use PTO hours
so your transition back
is less than full time hours?
You accrued them fair & square from working more when they needed to fill the schedule

The best time
is usually ānow,ā
with a little delay from scheduling

Clarification,

It is a compliment for me to be asked if Iām a pediatrician,

Possible answers:

Absconding with snacks

Thank *you* &
just because this is š¤©
doesnāt obligate you
to animate often/again
your storytelling strengths already include humor, relatability, and content
so I will clarify:
it *would* be too much time
if animating prevented you
from sharing other ideas/stories
