eccentric, fiercely independent,
sharp as the point of a star,
sharing Charles Dickens' birthday.
she was taken from the world,
and its future is dimmer.
but in the land of selective personhood,
nothing was, nothing is, ever done.
so, one must ask,
to America, did she matter?
about as much as the countless,
voiceless victims
that greed and rampant arrogance
kill every single day.
