Lawrence S. Pertillar Poems

I've been quoted out of context,
By those who believed it easy to do.
I've been perceived as someone I didn't know...
By those who never spoke to me.
...

Your reality can be changed,
At a moment's notice.
And the most disturbing thing about that is this...
When that moment's notice arrives,
...

I can understand you feeling stupid.
I do.
Afterall,
It was you who went out of your way,
...

By the time they realize,
Their shallow posterings have no affect.
And those impressed,
Have equalled their qualified lack of depth.
...

Whatever it is that has come to sit in your mind,
That you find you are now ready to come to grips with...
I hope you are ready,
To grab a hold onto this fact...
...

No it is not a bother at all.
I can not remember if it was you or me,
But...
I do believe we both agreed,
...

I don't think anyone intentionally pays them no attention.
Or goes out of their way to do it!
I would say,
No one has selected them as choices,
...

Now...
You wait until I am in complete focus,
Before you start the video.
...

Before an egg is cracked...
A chicken is hatched from that.
To peck around until its feathers are plucked.
Then baked or fried,
...

'Ladies and gentlemen,
May I have your attention.
Thank you.
...
