Sneak A Peek Out The Window...First! Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

They would love to see their activities magnetized.
In neon lights,
If possible.

And when adverse attention,
To them is unexpectedly given...
The seek to apologize,
For deeds done they wish to hide.

Unfortunately...
A revenge they wish could be avoided,
And dismissed...
Has already been placed,
On the 'spirit-hit-list'.

And for those who believe their deeds...
Whether missed or not,
Should be forgiven, dropped and forgotten?
I wouldn't rush to the door,
When a stranger comes to knock.

I would sneak a peek,
Out the window...
First!
To ensure those 'spirits' haven't arrived,
From high places.

You never know who has allies.
And from where those allies come.
