Infamous Laydeez ~ We Feel Ya, Amilia!

When young and fair, Amilia
Collected mem’rabilia
The insect life pre-aviation of
Oblivious to the
Extreme trepidity
Of ladies her vicinity of

Who learned a tread
Of careful dread
Having been astonished once or twice
Too find some goo
Upon a shoe
Which had them in their vapors in a trice

Her mother bore
What she abhor
Since she could not the habit get around:
“I swear that girl
Lives in a whirl —
Can’t seem to keep her feet upon the ground!”

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.
