Look Around You Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

Look Around You



You may be accustomed,
To looking at me and others up and down.
From head to toe.
Examining as if,
There is some standard or preference...
You are seeking to meet and greet.
For whatever that satisifies and means.
But look around you.
Not from side to side.
Look around you.
I have.
And perhaps,
Our priorities are different.
However,
It would be to your benefit not mine...
To focus on your back.
Because what threatens you,
Finds attacking you much more attractive...
Than I do.
