Lawrence S. Pertillar Poems

How do You do
The things that You say
And do?
And keep so close
...

'Whoever is using the bathroom!
Will you please close the door?
I've run out of candles and incense!
And the deodorant spray I left at the store!
...

If he didn't do it...
And he's on trial!
And they know he didn't,
And they are not!
...

We know the package looked bright at first!
Before he 'took' it away!
We know he has connections,
To people in high places.
...

I have no disposition,
To request a reposition.
Or think that superstitions done,
Protects me from the evil of some.
...

There is no apparatus used,
When someone tries to regain
A status they abused!
Or nothing disrespectful,
...

You want me to understand...
This about you
And that about you
And this about you
...

It's all the same,
When a game is played lame!
It's all the same...
A lame game!
...

A sea of truth comes soon to flood,
Pouring into ears with shock!
Those who find themselves betrayed,
Will not attempt to stop 'this' block!
...

Back and forth drifting.
From thought to thought,
Sitting!
Wishing them to go away,
...
