Lawrence S. Pertillar Poems

What are my goals?
You mean...
Like those 'things' I wish to accomplish?
...

Go ahead.
Here's your opportunity.
You've been waiting to embarrass me publicly...
For years.
...

Why is it,
When someone embraces another...
And accepts their blemishes, flaws
Funky moody attitudes...
...

If you didn't get it 'then'...
You are not going to get it 'now'.

'All you have to do is to explain to me...
...

One normally gets a few seconds,
To make a first and a last impression.
And you say you have been given more than that?
Consider yourself extremely fortunate.
...

To say that greed and the affect of it,
Is not the main ingredient...
That is the reason,
Causing people the world over...
...

Seek!
And with a reaching...
Be YOU!
Be 'all' that you wish.
...

Truth is making its presence felt.
And there are so many,
Who have never dealt with it before.
Believing it to be destructible.
...

What makes you think you know so much?

'Oh,
Trust me I don't.
...

Do you mind repeating what you just said?

'Of course not.
What is it that you wish to be repeated? '
...
