Belated Timing Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

Belated Timing



You torture me,
With your plodding sense
Of loyalty...
And your belated timing!
I needed you here to cover my back,
Long before you decided...
If the neighbors were watching,
Or how severe my need was!
And you think for one moment
I rely on you as my close friend?
I'd rather be tied to railroad tracks!
Supplying my own steam...
To the engine that crosses over me.
