The Problem is the Problem

The problem
My friends

Is not the guns
It’s not the smart phones
It’s not even the funds
For our schools

The problem
My friends
Is
The Problem

We weren’t talking
To each other
Before smart phones
Anyway

We all sat
Staring vacantly
Off into space instead
Remember?

That
Is
The
Problem

Solve that one
All the others
Just
Go

Away

*****

Homeless until removal of the stalker/targeter/vandal/arsonist following her allows her to approach any landlord ~ even for a private parking space ~ this poet presently lives under perpetual threat of towing with all possessions should her 23-year-old van stop running for any reason.

She is badly in need of a modest reserve with which to field any emergency which might occur.

Donors may visit http://www.UgiftABLE.com , using code #72D-31S. It does take several days for the poet to be notified of your patronage.

Thank you for caring.
