Lawrence S. Pertillar Poems

Excuse me.
I hate to annoy you!

'Oh,
...

Scenerio One:
You hung up the phone on me.
And in doing so,
You did me a favor!
...

They seek to stop a fight started.
But this fight 'they' started,
May never come to an end.
And those who are fighting it,
...

Oh...
I misunderstood.
I had no idea when you ran my dog over,
And keyed my car...
...

My every thought you dispute.
As if my insights,
Were ignited by ego.
...

As long as the beatings seem to defeat,
They will be treated with signs of support.
And a feeling of camaraderie expressed.
Not to be aborted,
...

When a quantity lacks quality.
And a marketing of garbage is anticipated.
Since garbage and trash thrive with medocrity.
How can anyone identify a high standard?
...

A madness affects their sensibilities.
And within them the light of a good spirit dies.
Attempts have been made and tried to reach them.
But time, unfortunately, is not on their side.
...

All my life I have sought affection.
And not getting that,
As it was craved.
Leaving me disillusioned to experiment.
...

I slow my car to a stop.
Get out and my jaw just drops.

In the denim she glides.
...
