I have two joyful poems in this issue: one of my froggish pieces and one inspired by a friend who often points me towards happiness.
But this whole issue is absolutely respite. Take a breath here.

We’ll share these little gems individually over the next while. All take just a few minutes (or less) to read. How else will you spend those 1-4 minutes? Doom scrolling? Worrying? Rage-baited? Scared? Lonely? How about a little trade?
