check the spell check
i try not to misspell anything while i’m writing,
even though nowadays there is spell check with those red squiggly lines
to let you know when you’ve messed up the entire story,
so then you need to go back and start all over, again and again,
ad infinitum, though i’m not sure if my spelling or grammar really matters,
you know, as long as you get the gist of what i’m saying,
and you do, don’t you?
you don’t need to answer that,
just think about it quietly until it becomes apparent
