Lawrence S. Pertillar Poems

If you have found...
That a time spent trying to find yourself,
Has gone.
At least know this...
...

Step back.
Look at it.
Deep breathe...
Then go.
...

When I hear them in the traffic,
Go beep beep.
Horns going on,
With a beep beep.
...

It is highly unlikely...
But,
Nothing is impossible...
That a leaf,
...

Why do I call you a fraud?
Everything you say and claim you are...
Has remained on your lips.
And from there your actions,
...

If you say you're in it and it doesn't seem to work...
Maybe your time is missing.
If you say it's on your agenda first...
Maybe you need to less rehearse.
...

Orchestrations...
As orchestrations are orchestrated,
And as orchestrations go...
Are usually presented as composed.
...

Just throw me any compliment you wish,
With superlatives dripping with adverbs and adjectives.
And don't forget that 'ego' written all over my forehead.
Be sure not to miss that.
...

For the first time they all sat,
Together...
In an obvious nervousness.
No longer separated,
...

You've clawed your way up to the top,
To dropp the jaws of foolish people.
Although this climb you have not stopped,
Already you've prepared a sequel.
...
