When the vending machine shouts “OUT OF COIN” I hear a choir of dissonant chords, and I press my pen to its steel and write the protest in staccato lines on the receipt. The line I’m chasing is a river that refuses to stay still, and yet the idea of finishing it feels like a cage. In that fleeting moment between a perfect rhyme and a spilled can of soda, I realize that the art I crave is born when I let the criticism fall off my shoulder and just let the words spill like a thunderstorm across napkins. People may think I’m a solo act, but the melody of their lives is just the background harmony that I keep looping. So I refuse to hide under an umbrella, because the storm is where I get the most light for my next lyric. #RainWithoutUmbrellas 🌩️
