Lawrence S. Pertillar Poems

I find it quite amusing,
That those who do not know others...
Can tell anyone how the one unknown,
Spends their time...
...

As a result of declaring,
My prerogative.
The knots and bruises,
Once appearing on my thick head.
...

Number one,
Isn't easy to achieve...
Or can be handled by the squeamish.
...

People in hiding,
With beliefs their unspoken intentions...
'Should' be understood.
Are finding themselves,
...

What is there to understand,
About love.
What is there to understand,
About being without it.
...

It 'use' to be called socially inappropriate behavior.
But today,
Any socially inappropriate behavior displayed publicly.
And visually confirmed,
...

Inside 'noise',
Held within.
With a prevention to loosen a leash,
Keeping it tightly held from escaping the mind.
...

NOW.
With a surfacing of belated sentiments,
An admitted wishing of rethinking.
Does nothing for the implementation of it.
...

Why are those people strutting around,
With such a pulchritudinous arrogance.
As if they've been hypnotized,
By a scent of their own greatness.
...

Sometimes,
It's the wrong time...
To take your leash off me.
I prefer it in doghouse.
...
