You Weren’t Supposed to Read This
You weren’t supposed to read this. That was the first line, written in the margin of a notebook I never intended to open again. It wasn’t a warning so much as a plea. The kind you make when you hope the paper itself might protect you from being seen.

Thoughts on Vocal and the way the world is
"Death cannot stop true love, only delay it." – Wesley in The Princess Bride. I decided to come back to Vocal on a very cold and dark night at the end of December. I had been, and still am, convalescing from a horrible staph infection that had gone misdiagnosed for months. This, paired with the increasing challenges of being healthy, making the best choices for my co-parented child, being a wife, and being a director at a new job, was a lot to manage.

Well done, Kendall. I've not read it. Now I have(?), lol.
I've never heard of this book before but your Haiku-review makes me wanna read it!
It's my first time about hearing of this book and it sort of reminds me of the cannonball car event. Like one where people try to race across the United States as fast as possible without making any stops and without getting stopped by police.
Great haiku. Good job
