Something Stupid To Say Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

Something Stupid To Say



Far away,
I try to leave my criticisms...
And opinions I am tempted to make.
Far away...
This decision made in my mind I keep.
And then logic wants to interfere to take over.

Suddenly the pieces that are out of place,
Are staring me in the face awaiting comment.
I can not even nod my head in acceptance,
To mind my own business to leave it that way.
Before someone approaches as if I am delicious bait.
With something stupid to say they know will irritate.

'I bet you don't think I notice your faked happiness.
Or that self confidence you pretend,
Is the reason why you walk with pride and stride.
Masquerading in charade you can not hide.
Since I know where you come from and where you reside.'

Cool.

'Cool?
I'm calling you a fool.'

I know.
But today...
What you say gives me goosebumps.

'Goosebumps?
You may be a goose who dumps,
Chump! '

Far away,
I try to leave my criticisms...
And opinions I am tempted to make.
Far away...
This decision made in my mind I keep.
And then logic wants to interfere,
With a calming of a heat that rises...
I would rather have take over.

'Hey? Dummy?
Why are you looking towards the sky? '

I am wondering why,
Such an intelligent person like you,
Can identity and spot a fool so quickly.
It takes wisdom and talent to do that.
And I am grateful you've taken time to waste on me.

'Yeah?
Uh...huh?
Whatever!
Cool.
You aint no fun.
Fun and dummies don't know each other.
Man?
Where you come from...
Uranus? You get it? UR-ANUS!
LOL.'

God?
Thank you.
I was just about to go off.
And then YOU let logic interfere to take over.
Wow!
