Jonathan Freeman (he/them) is the type of person who tries to avoid awkward moments like this, by keeping a list of ideas for what to say in these writer bios on his phone, but he's also the type of person who's too lazy to find that list and use it right now. Please feel free to follow him via @ReverendPear most places, if you feel like doing that.
Rule: I know there’s a word for this, but I don’t remember what it is—I did that thing where every stanza is made up of words from the first stanza. I guess that’s probably obvious. I also tried to make each stanza shorter than the previous, but I didn’t actually completely follow that rule in the end… because rules are made to be broken? Thanks for reading!
