When her experience as an American poet of excellence changes, so will her account of it.

Keep Her Weak

Keep her weak
Keep her down
Let her speak
(Like a clown!)

Don’t want Truth
Walking down
All the streets
Of this town

Smiling, singing
All that stuff
We like things
A lot more rough!

We’ll let her
Undefended be
Right by her
Worst enemy

That Truth is “unstable”
“Ignorant” and “rash”
We knew it —
Just more homeless trash.

This poet presently lives at a fraction of her nation’s poverty level.
