Choosing To Snooze
Lawrence S. Pertillar 1947 (Connecticut)
No one else chose to choose but you,
To snooze through the events...
Without awakening,
From mint scented dreams to delude reality.
Preferring to fiction the sound of screams,
Heard to hear...
As if someone near,
Had been either receiving or giving pleasure.
Although...
Everyday complain you do.
About decisions others make.
Having nothing to do with you.
Yet you seem to be,
The one observed screaming loudly to hear.
As to who is doing what done and to whom.
Incapable of minding their own business!
