Words cannot express this poet’s despisal tonight of every (highly Christian) enslaved husband, shrill jealous wife, complacent politician and back pocket policeperson in this city who probably blamed her for all five times shit was smeared around her vehicle today while it was parked next to a restaurant, and are allowing yet another night of sleep deprivation to be meted out to her ~ before sending her completely away on Monday.

… How can you call yourselves thinking humans? 

May you enjoy greatly the criminals you have chosen instead!

And when they are finished destroying utterly the infrastructure at which they’ve been eating away like so many skinny anarchist mice for this whole past year while you all sat on one of your thumbs with the other ones up your noses, working on ways to make it the homeless’ fault ~ may you find yourself in exactly her present position.

Wondering why nobody seems to be showing you any compassion.

Peace out.

In Good Company

I have a snit
I have a peeve:
How frequently
I’ve had to leave

From this household
Or that town
Feeling badly
Feeling down

But I can’t hold
A candle, bra,
To one teacher:
Bahá’u’lláh

He preached only
Love and peace
And systems for
Both of these

Imagine his
Greater impatience:
Kicked out of (count ’em)
Twenty two nations!

But now some time
Has passed us by —
And there are millions
Of Baháʼí

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.
