Lawrence S. Pertillar Poems

I am going to remind you...
I can be obnoxious!
I think that's what you wish.
More of my obnoxiousness.
...

Better beatened than to boot.
Those nagging irritations,
Coming to dilute a feel good moment.
To boost frustrations...
...

Wait one minute.
I must file a tax return,
'Before' I am stimulated
By a package.
...

Penny for my thoughts?
Those are ten dollars a pop now!
And IF you want me to make sense...
Add an extra 15 dollars for the effort.
...

There were times I was made to feel uncomfortable
Because I dared to be me and declare who I am.
And I did not have to go anywhere to do that.
Wherever I went...
...

Moral fiber?
Those self righteous,
Profess to know what that is.
They are quick to identify who does not have it.
...

We all have been seduced to perceive...
A virginity preserved,
After the act of sex should be believed.
Indignities are shared,
...

I am not seeking interpretations...
Of how I see 'it',
This life I have that is mine.
Nor am I here to convince,
...

My love is not an imitation of it.
Or is it an impression I lifted.
It is what it is!
Whether you accept or leave it alone.
...

Life presents to us challenges.
Some accept.
Some reject.
Others believe they can be put on hold,
...
