From Lip To Ear Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

From Lip To Ear



'I thought you did not like me.'

Oh?
Did I tell you that?

'No.'

Oh,
So my actions expressed it?

'No.'

I see,
So how did you determine I disliked you?

'That's what I heard.'

I see...

Remember the last time I asked how you were?
And we were face to face?
And you neglected to ask me the same?

'Yeah...
But I didn't have time to stop to chat!
I nodded my head.
And that's a fact.'

I see.
Well,
Let me say this within listening distance...
Get-Out-Of-My-Face.

Take that and share it with your reliable sources.
And make sure you put emphasis,
On how nasty I was, okay?
And IF we should cross paths again...
You will have reason to roll your eyes.

I give what I deliver,
From lip to ear.
Not through clogged up and petty party lines.

'I heard you were a nasty and bitter person.'

Great!
Now you have that confirmed.
