Resonates with me. My sister is a poet who spent her life teaching comp and barely ever got a poetry class to teach. Got very angsty about her work, even now, retired and with dementia, she has the complaint that no poems are coming out. But no one can use her computer because this is where she writes. I like the thought that she has done quite a bit of nothing over time. Thank you for the poetry, and especially thank you for the dog walk. Dogs are very special and have much to teach us!

Teaching comp is hard but worthy work! I hope your sister finds some poems can still find their way out 💙
