How High Do You Lift Those Legs? Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

If I saw myself as others wished me to be,
I'd be more frightening than 'godzilla'.
And those who have actually seen me,
Prior to my morning routine of prayer and execise...
Have difficulty recognizing me,
When I am walking around on the streets publicly.

Therefore,
I completely understand...
Those who have found themselves attracted,
To werewolves and horror films.

'You look sensational.
Have you had a 'make over'? '

Is that suppose to be a joke?
I am just finishing my execise routine.
In fact I decided to do it earlier this morning.
I told you I was into doing leg lifts.

'Yes you did.
But...
How high do you lift those legs? '
