Re-intro time:
Hi! I’m Jeff; an unconventional poet/Dad from the Canadian prairies. I have 2 adult kids, 2 rescue dogs, & have been madly in love w/ the same lowkey juggernaut since the 1900s.
I'm owned by a tiny bakery & I lived w/ ADHD 45yrs before discovering it. I'm probably bad at hide-&-seek.

Being Measurable is not a Virtue.
I'm been pondering something lately. This isn't meant to be a 'gotcha,' but rather something that seemed profound to me, and now has me considering my own context/the lived experience that has led to this realization and why I am like this.

Efficiency is not a Virtue.
