How Deep Can An Ignorance Get Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

I'm telling you...
I saw a five dollar bill.
When you were discussing,
The clarity of the sky.
And how that has not been seen,
In quite sometime.

We'll discuss that later.
Now go see if you can find someone,
With a rope or ladder or something.
Or find someone with a flashlight.
I know what I saw.
And I saw it from up there,
Where you are.

'How deep can an ignorance get? '

There you go getting philosophical.

'No one told you to jump down there,
Like a fool.'

Who are you calling a fool?
I've got more than five dollars in my wallet.
And I bet you can't say that?
Can you!

'You are right!
But who is asking who for the assistance? '
