Flashbacks Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

Even sinking they maintained their pretensions.

'What are you saying?
What are you talking about? '

Oh...
Nothing.
Just having flashbacks.
Thinking about those times gone...
When folks refused to listen.

'When was that?
Where did that happen? '

At a time people were lost,
In their own personal issues!

'Yes...
I did hear about that.
Was it traumatic?
To witness it? '

Not at all!
I was happily labelled crazed!
I went about my own business,
To experience the joys of living.
