It is this poet’s very dubious honor to document the day in which a nationwide network targeting our infrastructure is blandly ignored ~ in favor of bullying, intimidating and harassing the innocent poet trying to warn it about them.
Start with a post/recording titled “Staggering Unprofessionalism.”

Swan Song: Troubador of Verse

The problem with uploading photos to go with our last posts on this site turns out to be that the site itself has reached storage capacity.
Since there is no way to empty it without erasing posts for future perusal, a new site must now be begun.
However, before encountering the situation documented this morning, the poet had just happened to draft and record the very title work of this site itself.
It will be posted next, as final publication on this site. Having been drafted first, it will either appear immediately before, or immediately after, this one.
The poet really hesitates to begin a new site.
What for?
So it can be covered with the same filth which covers her following crime ring’s floods and fires?
What would she title it? “Poetry From the Profiled, Penniless and Persecuted”?
Well, she tried to create a new WP site under that name.
On her device, it has so far proved impossible to do so.
Oh, she’ll probably keep trying.
She has a need to hold up her head. She wishes, even in her disabled condition, to make a contribution to her society.
And ~ if this present site has one sentence of storage left afterwards ~ she’ll let you, her lovely readers, know where it is.

Given the choice between modern and ancient spellings of this poem’s title word, its author chose to go with the modernized American version in both the poem and the website of which it eventually became title work.
In it we follow a youthful musician of the Medieval era, along paths paved by 1200 lines of iambic triplets, through his education in mystery and melody, throu to his ultimate destiny at Amiens Cathedral.

Troubador
For Jean-Luc I take up my pen
Who as a boy of Amiens
Grew up among laboring men
In the North of ancient France
No luxury or elegance
Were his — he did not learn to dance
Or how to lovely music play
But every village holiday
Found him on its procession’s way
Listening with all his heart
For the sweet melodies to start
Where maidens, taking each a part
Leap, skip and twirl in merry dance
Their sweet feminine radiance
Did the little boy entrance
Those tunes remaining in his ear
‘Twixt celebrations, year to year
In his fond memory he’d hear

The poet lifted her back curtain to find herself being closely photographed.
She lifted her camera to photograph in return, and the windshield guard was erected.
Seeing her lift her phone for the second picture it was immediately taken down again.
Seeing the third photo being taken, it moved ~ exactly two spaces of the poet, and parked.
It’s rear license reads 9GPS526.
Out of it came both driver and passenger, she in white, he in black, both Asian.
They walked north on Freeport, without the poet observing them to cross at the High School.
The car is still parked in that position at 8:54 AM.
Two of the three photographs taken by the poet refused to upload for this post. The poet will try to add them in a little while.

At this point, any body of “law enforcement” NOT fingering the crime network member making a prolonged racket like the end of the world just outside the poet’s van this morning…
… deserves to find itself on the front line against them.
