Comfortable Blind

Why don’t you use plain ol’ words
That I am used to hearin’?
It’s your pinko poofter leanin’s
I am really fearin’

Don’t give me all that about
Yer finer shades of feelin’
I think that’s a load of crap
With which you are dealin’

Red is red and blue is blue
Purple when you add ’em up
But it works best fer me to say
Just plain ol’ “red plus blue,” ah-yup!

Why you make it into work?
Why you want to stretch ma mind?
What you want to make me see?
I’m plenty comfortable blind!

This poet works for the good of her nation and society, seven days a week.

She’s in a pretty bad fix right now ~ already homeless, and now the van she lives in has stopped running. Not a hope of fixing it without donations. One ticket is death. Real.

Arts patrons may visit http://www.UgiftABLE.com to make donations of any amount, using code 72D-31S. It will take about two weeks for the poet to be notified of your patronage.

International donors should contact her through these comments or the contact page address on this site for special instructions.

Thank you for supporting quality in the fine arts.
