Details Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

Before the mind goes...
And any 'suspected' patience,
That is left I 'may' have had...
But did not take an opportunity to express.
I'd like to,
With current humility I recognize within me now,
Say this...
To anyone I might have unwittingly offended.
I'd like to say you can...
Can?
You...
Gee!
It was right on the tip of my tongue too!
How embarrassing?
You can...

'Sounds like...?
Comeon.
Out with it.
I aint got all day to listen to these mushy apologies.
Contrived or not!
Express it. Get it out! '

See?
You see?
That's exactly why folks like you,
Deserve to be told what to kiss!
But I aint feelin' it.
It's a good thing my mind has memory lapses.
Or I'd cuss you out with abundant love.

Which reminds me...
Didn't you promise to pay back my ten dollars?
About a month ago?

Were you hoping I'd forget that?
In fact...
Just last week,
Didn't you borrow fifty more dollars from me?

'Details!
Now you want to include 'details' in the mix! '
