Of 'That' Because Of Them, Now And How! Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

You seem so calm, cool and collected!
Aren't you concerned?

'About what, why, whom and when? '

Of 'that' because of them, now and how!

'Wow!
No...
I am not.

I use to be upset about all of it.
And yet...
You seem to have all of it separated in categories.

I have never been that involved.
Not to dissect it to be inspected.
Unlike you,
I am blessed not to be that affected.

Wow!
You make me feel even more proud,
That I did not allow myself to get 'that' involved.

Where is your peace? '

Of what?
Pieces of anything I had to give up!

'Wow!
You make me feel even more proud,
That I did not allow myself to get 'that' involved.'
