In the background of this recording may be heard today’s nourishing planetary rain.

What You Do

Don’t give in
Don’t give up
Don’t roll over
Kick

Don’t back down
Don’t shut up
Don’t take ‘no’
Kick, honey

Don’t go ‘long
Don’t sit tight
Get on back
And kick it

They’ll tell you
Ain’t fe you
It ain’t true:
Kick!

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.

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.

Thank you for supporting quality in the fine arts.
