Lawrence S. Pertillar Poems

The most difficult part in dealing with 'accepted' reality,
Is the financing of the delusional side of it.
With loans due and credit rates soaring to pay.
...

Do not make attempts...
To obligate me or my time,
To decisions you make.
You will discover,
...

When they have...
They care less who has not.
Few do care,
And that is shown.
...

You did not discover me.
You chanced upon one of my activities.
One mindset.
One thought process I possess.
...

To be branded different,
Eventually motivates...
The one made aware of it.
...

Whatever it is...
Give.
From you to someone else,
Whatever it is...
...

Tell them what you want.
Express this as a wish.
Tell them the obstacles on your path...
You want removed.
...

I feel them.
Cold but warming.
Inside my pockets.
...

Is capitalism dead?
For those keeping candlelight vigils...
In hopes of a miracle.
A team of resuscitators,
...

I had nothing left.
Or so I thought.
And I sat remembering,
Who and what brought me joy.
...
