Faxed. Texted. Or Emailed? Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

Faxed. Texted. Or Emailed?



I apologize for the many interruptions.
You were saying...
Something,
About my being obnoxious, rude...
And disrespectful in my comments made,
When I chose to say what I did...
To defend my integrity,
You believe you could just do...
While you and your friends,
Were humoring yourself at my expense publicly.

'Yes.
You should have known,
We were not serious about it.'

I see.
Excuse me once again.
I hope you don't mind me paying a few bills,
While I listen to your nonsense.

'That's what I'm saying.
You think a forgiveness to give is nonsense.'

No. Not at all.
Now...
Which one of these bills I pay,
With my name on them all...
Do you assist in the payment?

'None.
Not one. Why? '

That's why I regard...
Whatever it is you want me to believe,
As nonsense!
How do you want that delivered?
Faxed. texted. Or emailed?
Because right at this moment,
I regard your visit as a waste of my time.

'That's what I'm saying.
You think a forgiveness to give is nonsense.'

That's not true.
I 'know' you to be nonsense.
