Just How Hysterical Are You? Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

I love the renovations made to your home.
I see you have rid yourself of some furnishings.

I never noticed 'that' window there before.
Why do you have it roped off?

'Have you noticed the sign hanging above it? '

CLARITY?

'Yes.
Exactly.
It's off limits.
And only those I deem in their right minds,
Are authorize to go beyond that rope.
To share the vision with me.'

Oh!
How clever.
May I take a look?

'Only those I deem in their right minds,
Are authorize to go beyond that rope.
To share the vision with me.'

I find that hysterical.

'Your secret is safe with me.
However...
Only those I deem in their right minds,
Are authorize to go beyond that rope.
To share the vision with me.'

Okay.
I get the message.

Well...
When will I get an opportunity,
To see what you find so precious.?

'Just how hysterical are you? '

Stop it.
You're scaring me.

'When I discovered 'clarity'...
It was the most frightening thing,
I ever thought I'd see.
I use to fear it myself!
Now...
I keep it as a shrine in my home.'
