Having been temporarily scared away from online interference by our last post, the poet’s stalker/targeter team has now loosed a cloud of a acidically irritating chemicals at 24th and Greenwood just before 8 pm.

Why does she continue to hope for more reasonable times ahead?

Could you not?

Eternal Springs

So long as we have done our very best
Can tell ourselves we might have passed that test
In self review no evil find confessed
But worked to see chaotic ways redressed
So doing hoping all thereby be blest
Hoping thus to achieve the inner rest
Of truly universal interest

So long as these things of ourselves we find:
Took much to drive us to aught word unkind
And e’en that in restraint were undertook
To give all there involved a clearer look,
To bring sight rather than to make aught blind,
Not shattered by our words but merely shook
Away complacent selfish method from
Thereby calm clarity allow to come —

Then ‘spite all reasons for despair, forsooth,
We yet project our so heartfelt request
For a continuation of our quest
On future pathways more serenely smooth
At some angelic or divine behest,
For it is said in veritable truth
Hope springs eternal in the human breast

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.
