Conversation as an Empath

I knew what you meant
Five words into your first sentence

But do understand
You need me now to be silent
While you finish the sentence

Very

Slowly

And then, in
Slightly different forms,
Say the same thing

Five times more

Until removal of the stalker/targeter/vandal/arsonist following her allows her to approach any landlord ~ even for a private parking space ~ and to begin once again to create professional connections and to rebuild her life, this poet presently lives homeless and at a fraction of her nation’s poverty level ~ still working seven days a week to contribute to her society, however.

Arts patrons may visit http://www.UgiftABLE.com , using code #72D-31S, or choose to send a personal check to the poet’s ABLE Nevada account. It takes about two weeks for the poet to be notified of your patronage.
