Description snapshot

14. Linda wrote a “poem” on a napkin. Kyle felt the need to add a disclaimer - it was written during a different time - but Linda reads her childhood poem “Harry Queery”. Linda understood the warning and appreciated having the floor to share because it was how she wrote it at the time.

We invite you to listen with an open mind.
