I'Ve Got To Do This Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

I've got to do this...
Until I quit.
I can not resist it.
It would be missed.

Yeah,
I've got to do this...
Until I quit.
I can't resist it,
One bit.

I dream to leap over black holes.
Stretching to reach stars...
In times ahead.
With a speeding through times...
That have from us long gone away,
Not to exist.

I've got to do this!

I've got to do this...
Until I quit.
I can't resist it,
One bit.

People do this,
And...
People do that.
And...
Some people put all their hopes and wishes,
In one hat or basket.

And I've got to do this!
Whatever hat or basket fits.

I've got to do this!

I dream to leap over black holes.
Stretching to reach stars...
In times ahead.
With a speeding through times...
That have from us long gone away,
Not to exist.

I've got to do this!
I've got to do this...
Until I quit.
I can not resist it.
It would be missed.
I've got to do this!
For this I exist.
