I appreciate his concern but no, I was not lost. I was just walking. Yes, it's a sunny day with springleaves starting to grow and early blooms in the hedgerows and the woods alight with birdsong but yes, I'm just walking.

The Molly Guard is a device, real or software, that prevents a switch or action being operated by mistake. It's named after the daughter of a programmer who pressed a Big Red Button in a datacenter. Twice.

I'd be surprised if a Molly Guard would have deterred Molly because at that age it sure wouldn't have me.

@scotlit
prove to me your age
said the cop in a box
before I permit you to
write out that #poetry
and allow the world to
enjoy and comment

prove to me your virtue
said the cop in a box
with your face and vitals
recorded for all time
and allow the world to
enjoy and comment

Here is some news about I Write Like: its new feature allows you to preserve single line breaks in the preview. You can use the toggle and type your poem in a neat column without any extra Markdown. The blog post shows how it looks.
Also, I loved the poem used in the example.
