Lawrence S. Pertillar Poems

Boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom,
Statistically speaking.
Boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom,
Statistically speaking.
...

If you must limp alone across the finish line,
Do it and be proud.
You have no challengers to win this race.
Goals you've chosen,
...

I remember once being told I was nothing but fluff.
With a life that would lead to nothing,
Because I was not made of the right stuff.
And purposely I see these folks.
...

Unstrapped from an entrapping sadness.
And unwrapping sentiments.
With no lingering laments intended meant.
...

My success has not achieved respect,
In their eyes.
And I laugh from mine.
With the knowledge...
...

Today I pray for your happiness.
Because if you don't get any...
I'm not going to get none at all.
That's right.
...

Do I feel in the mood for romance?
Of course I do.
And to prove it...
As soon as you release the person,
...

Both of their minds were entwined in concepts of relationships.
Wanting their own to be one that was perfect.
And defining that with having good credit.
With things believed that would keep them in bliss.
...

There are not too many,
Who can leave hurdles leaped.
That others seek,
To reach and stir someone within.
...
