Quirky Ilk

Einstein’s wife did all his math
For he had flunked the class
When he was his High School in ~
She was a mental kind of lass

And he drank in his adulthood,
Bought from women of his town,
Human mothers’ milk ~
He loved to guzzle that stuff down!…

Jung had two wives, best friends were,
To each the other would defer
To her happily refer ~
A household structure they prefer

Every single day he smoked,
Laughed so loudly when he joked
Folks would walk up from the street
This merry laughing man to meet…

Throughout his whole adulthood
Joseph Campbell never would
Watch one movie nor TV
Disturbing his deep reverie…

Founding Father Benjamin
Lolled his birthday outfit in
At the window every day
Thought life more healthful went that way…

A point here is ~
That point is this:
If wish to milk
Creative ilk

Of benefit
You must admit
There unavoidably
Will be peculiarity

Now bring that insight, if you will,
Like an unpalatable pill
To our corporate milleau
Dedicated strictly to

Profitable expediency
Human identicality
Female masculinity
Nor ever sweetness welcome be

Where is space to in whimsey go
Amid the sameness we now know
As limited “reality”?
— There’s no more room for Poetry

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

She’s in a pretty bad fix right now ~ due to the new crime of online targeting already homeless, now for the same reason the van she lives in has stopped running. Not a hope of fixing it without donations.

SHE WILL NOT SIGN AWAY HER CIVIL RIGHTS AND ABANDON HER POSSESSIONS TO ENTER IMPRISONMENT IN A “SHELTER.” SHE WILL NOT WAIT FOR IMPRISONMENT FOR AN UNPAYABLE FINE.

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.
