Hither & Yon


Read me quote me for not a dollar my words are free and yours to holler Do add your spin if you so please to make them fit or to appease They sit and wait upon the page for your two eyes to thus engage To take them hither or take them yon — and never dither where they belong (The New Room: June, 2026)
