She’s Up! She’s Down! She’s Up Again!

Lay-deez and gentlemen!
The audience is live this evening!
A thrill of excitement
Can be felt and smelt
In the very air of this room

Oooooh, some
Of us are gonna get
Wiggly laid to-night!

(Do they let us
Say that on TV?
Dunno —
They just did!
Haha!!)

The opponents
Squaring off now

In one corner
Entropy
Rears its ugly
Head…

‘Nuff said.

In the other
Our, ah — Heroine —

Is she really gonna
Try to
Fight
In that outfit?

Naaaaah.

OMG, laydeez
She actually is!…

What we wanna know is
Howz she doing it?

Not even a paper cut
Not a rip, not a damn
Wrinkle

What’s that about?

Walkin’
All over it in ‘er

Sparlin’ pink
Hello Kitty-decalled
Ankle high
Light-up soled
Velcro and
Velvet
Tennies

YA-ssuh.
What I’m talkin’ bout

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 account. It takes about two weeks for the poet to be notified of your patronage.
