Lawrence S. Pertillar Poems

All over the place they are.
Casting lines to redefined,
What is caught they did not catch.
And tossed to those blind.
...

Where I am.
And who it is I live to be.
Has been fictioned to perceive.
Without the benefit of reality.
...

Who is it today can say,
They have so much time to want...
More of it wishing,
They could spend some it...
...

People evil.
Seek verbal reactions to their misdeeds.
People evil.
Become perturbed,
...

Lately,
Many and not all...
Seem to be needing,
Quiet time to themselves.
...

Riding high on the shoulders of guilt.
Saddled and strapped.
Allowing to follow a course,
Avoiding feelings of remorse.
...

Let's pretend the Earth is round.
Spinning on a fragile axis.
And orbiting a Sun so massive.
One Earth within it,
...

The one thing about aging,
I have discovered to not expect.
And found it most enjoyed.
Is the minding of my own business.
...

Unstick yourself.
From that which has you,
Stuck Up and glued to a comfort.
Showing each day,
...

Shackles on a hope,
That eloped.
Have been broken.
People now know they don't have to cope,
...
