Lawrence S. Pertillar Poems

Yes sir...
I will keep this brief.

In your most recent press conference,
...

You need to get up and change.
And stop that complaining,
About the same 'thang'.
Yes,
...

That we live encouraged,
To acknowledge and grow...
Is important.
...

Men and women both have nipples.
But birds have nipples not.
Since they can not miss them licked...
Do they get a kick when lifting wings?
...

He or she.
Them or they.
In love with a dead mate.
With feelings never to go away.
...

Diversity is sought...
And thought could exist!
But those wishing to practice it...
Seek to administer it to adhere
...

Here it is, March!
Almost near the middle of the year,
Of 2015.
Twenty-fifteen?
...

That train has gone.
The one you are trying to catch,
To keep up!
The one delayed...
...

It took years to close a door
that should not have been opened.
Now that the action has been finalized...
There is knocking.
...

When truth becomes a negative aspect,
Of one's reality.
And it solicits unwarranted snide remarks?
Danger is embraced!
...
