Run-On

We've been told that
run-ons are the Devil we should
avoid them at all costs because
it's an abominable act against the
literary world it might give the
reader the impression that
the writer has the skills of
a grammar school child besides
it wrecks the readability of the
writer's words.
Yet.
I couldn't help it.
I wanted to say everything.
All of it.
All at once.
And my words spilled onto the page
Faster than I could write them.
