Riding High On Your Horse Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

What are you doing...
Riding high on your horse.

'I am hoping to find 'someone',
Who knows the meaning of communication.'

Most people around here seek the same thing.
But I will admit this,
You are the first I have seen...
Attempting to do this,
And from a perch that is not down to Earth.

'I said...
I am hoping to find someone,
Who knows what communication means.
Most people who claim to be down to Earth,
Do not communicate with meaning.'

Well...
Good luck.
Since most folks around here,
Regard those on high horses as uppity nig...

'Hey. It's okay.
I use to think that same way too.
It was the horse that came to me,
With an offer of a better view.
So I have high hopes...
My choice doesn't intimidate anyone,
Who might have an interest in 'me'.
And what I will do to meet someone special.
I'll get off my high horse when that happens.'

You're not afraid of being thought of as arrogant?

'If I was afraid of that,
I wouldn't show myself on a high horse.
I'm looking for someone special.
And that someone 'special',
Will not need from me an explanation.'

Ummm. I see.
Do you have a sexual preference?
