I Don'T Pretend To Be Detached Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

From my doorstep I witness.
With an interest to experience,
Life!
And when I leave to explore,
I do it to observe,
That which is intact.

Attached I am to the facts.
Facts in an environment,
I don't pretend to be detached.
Yet so many are.
And I wonder how that could be?
But not for long.

From my doorstep I witness.
With an interest to experience,
Life!
So many don't.
And I wonder how that could be?
But not for long.
