Show Your Work

Public school drilled this habit into me.
I am not certain, yet, whether this is fortunate or un-,
But that wondering lacks nuance.

Anyway,
I think that’s what I’ve done here,
In this collection,
In some way,
At least.

So much of my energy, effort, and exertion
Have been dedicated to documenting
For the sake of someone following along later on.

I hope
…
I hope
I’ve made
A follow-able map.

The funny thing about
Solving problems you can’t yet name is
You don’t know what work
You’re meant to show…

Please,
oh please,
keep
following
along.
