We Now Return You to Our Regularly Scheduled Affirmative Programming

It was a very quiet night.

The poet was permitted to sleep.

She did not waken in the wee hours choking for breath on whatever might have been released into her van, as she had the night before.

Perhaps, when she starts her vehicle, she will not find yet another relay knocked out by EMP gun, as she did two days ago.

Of course, this morning, mocking squeeks and tweets can still be heard via miniature remote transcievers around her van.

But that’s what evil does, right?

It capers around the circle’s edge, leering, lurking, and making weird noises. Sticking out its tongue. Acting ridiculous. Helping nothing at all. So long as it doesn’t step across the line and harm our lives, we ignore it.

Sticking out the tongue ~ this poet has a funny offering about that.

Maybe we’ll run it next.

This poet is physically disabled. Public housing being insufficient to her medical and creative needs, she is presently living, in order to continue working, in her minivan, publishing all of her works using one thumb on the touch screen of her smartphone at an income of a fraction of her nation’s poverty level. She would treasure any donation you might care to offer ~ http://www.UgiftABLE.com ● #72D-31S
