Jackass Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

You wish me to be specific?
Like an island in the Pacific?
You wish me to lay it on the line?
To ease and bring a comfort,
To your confused mind?
Okay...
I will!
Your ignorance is not unique.
Your inability to comprehend...
Is commonly found upon these streets.
And your clinched fists,
With the gritting of bared teeth...
Is overdone.
Protecting what has long been observed,
You should do your best to overcome.
But like the others with wishes to protect themselves...
You're boring with excuses,
You use to self induce.
I see it for what it is.
Consider my comments as positive!
I am not the one from you or it to run.
You asked,
Jackass!
Why do you look at me as if you are stunned?
What did you think I would offer you?
A cup of coffee with cream and sugar?
Perhaps gossip over tea...
As we eat cinnamon buns?
I don't take time for that!
Or numb my head by smoking 'joints'.
But...
If you've got one...
I'll share it with you!
