Lawrence S. Pertillar Poems

By a show of hands.
How many of you discovered,
You had increased difficulty...
Dealing with reality last year?
...

Keep doing what you are doing!
And stay in one spot.
Eventually 'someone' will be curious...
And will stop to see what you've got!
...

Somewhere in your conversation,
You have forgetten to mention...
It was you who took my attention,
And walked out on me!
...

We provide,
Too many excuses.
And allow escapes,
From a lack of discipline.
...

Some suspect I am into myself!
I play along with it.
To amuse their curiousities.
Knowing they have no idea...
...

I have not been a child for so long.
So if my offensive demeanor,
Comes from an adult mind...
Free to express itself from a hiding,
...

I agree with your assessments,
And the judgements that you've passed.
They are yours...
And not mine to argue.
...

Minus sadness.
Reduce your madness.
Eliminate the negative...
For a positive return!
...

Junk.
You don't need it.
Get ready for it to be depleted.
Prepare for a hunk of relief...
...

He is itching,
To do something to be remembered.
Impulsive.
Imprudent.
...
