The poet cannot even allow anyone to be too kind to her, as they become targets themselves.

Perimeter Posting

Command understands
There’s a high turnover here

No company to come back to
In the barracks to jolly you up

Just sending
Sending

Sending
On schedule

A weak beam
Perhaps not even received

Opposing forces
Ever hovering

Mocking
Your pain

Operators give up sanity
Then life

It’s
Assumed

Not a place in which one
Would take extraordinary

Measures
To remain

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.
