There’s so much going on here:
This new “Christian” ethos to just procreate like there’s no tomorrow is deeply flawed and devalues the work of women to that of a baby factory. Jesus loves the little children. He also doesn’t care if you choose not to have any.

I find myself writing more poetry than prose these days. The wordplay and beauty of it intrigue me more than the crime novels I was pumping away on. I don't know where this will go, but the ride is fun and the wind in my face feels like freedom.
