Or tramp, or whatever other denomination one might reliably take...

Mine slovenly unkempt appearance spelled embarrassment

spurred by most recent therapy session 
with Renee Cardone

Harriet runs barefoot in the woods

No rhyme nor reason why
yours truly recalled how
me late mother
(earlier in her fitbit livingsocial years)

An accused, individual society...

Who ate his plantain in chips
What happened to the bunches?
