I'Ve Researched My Dna Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

From fluffed puffed up stuff,
I have stayed away.
Those five to ten dollar words to use,
I could do.
To impress my thoughts to address?
But that's not communicating.
That is a competition.
To see who best can express,
The having of intelligence.
And on those days I feel ignorant,
I am not seeking to charade.
Or portray I am related to Einstein.
I'm not.
I've researched my DNA.

Direct I am to stay that way.
I've learned it best,
To keep it simple and basic.
With a doing a child,
Could comprehend.

And not to belittle,
But I too want to understand...
To keep misunderstandings,
Understood and not assumed.
Like many do who seek to impress,
To leave a conversation to make accusations.
With a doing to express to someone else,
Nothing they have accepted to comprehend.
