Lawrence S. Pertillar (February/'47 / Connecticut, USA)

All of this time,
You knew you had information...
That could have provided me with benefits.
And you never mention this once,
Knowing I would advantage from it.
Why?

'I tried with many attempts.
Remember when you told me,
My interests were not of your concern? '

But why didn't you insist,
I close my mouth and open my ears to listen?

'Remember when you told me,
My interests were not of your concern?
And when I insisted that you listen...
On me your back you turned.
And for weeks,
You refused to say a thing to me?

And the last time I saw you standing on the street,
You told me I aggravated you!
And loudly exclaimed I interferred with your view.'

But I had not known,
Your interests were to my benefit.

'Now you do but guess what? '

What?

'My interests have changed.'
