'Is Any Of This Suppose To Make Sense...? ' Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

The ones perceived to be out of the loop,
Were actually in control of it.
Caring less to keep up with appearances.

Until a smugness begun,
Began to offend and rub them the wrong way.
With a shifting of gentle winds,
Coming to blow away charades.

*There is a need to comprehend,
Why it is important to learn how to swim.
'Before' deciding to jump into the deep end of things.
Regardless if the pool sits,
On someone else's property! *

'Is any of this suppose to make sense to me? '

*That depends,
On which side of the loop...
You find yourself drowning in! *
