Lawrence S. Pertillar Poems

Maintaining a maintenance of one's sanity,
Requires constant discipline.
And the benefits of rest one gets...
Not outdated 'yet' or considered obsolete.
...

What are you doing?

'A thorough Spring cleaning.'
...

Game ready folks,
Have a ridiculous response...
For every nonsensical mindless thing done,
They do.
...

Put a smile on your face.
Take your food stamps and fixed income.
And be happy you have shelter...
In a warm and safe comfortable place!
...

He,
Has not forgotten...
Where he came from.
Or the place of his birth.
...

The only one to experience,
'My' metamorphosis is 'me'.
To a degree I could not perceive.
...

There is a huge difference between,
Expressing one's concern...
And fostering negativity.
...

On stilettos.
Perched.
From your tower high,
In search.
...

Has anyone seen the elite eat beets?
Has anyone ever seen them pat their feet?

Have you ever seen them groove in seats?
...

You are correct!
I will not get upset,
Over those things your neighbor
Has done to you.
...
