‘MY REFRAIN’ ORIGINAL POETRY BY ALLIÉ MERRICK MCGUIRE
NO THANKS
I’m dedicating this piece to an acceptance of errors - those I’ve made in the past and those that I’ll make in the future. Regardless of when they occurred, I accept that I am human and innately will error from time to time. This piece is also dedicated to my recent diagnosis of MS - my acceptance of the condition, all the things it changes, and all the things it doesn’t.

Your quic Not m I’m slo I write as I g And I don’t feel the nee To bind words In an electronic stat In a Word documen Or Excel workshee No cells for my syllables Than you very muc I’m touched
