No Trespassing (Part Two)
Lawrence S. Pertillar 1947 (Connecticut)
If I can listen to you.
Knowing this you can not do.
As you expect me to sit.
Hearing your nonsense.
Without taking a breath.
While I am waiting to anticipate,
Something meaningful to learn.
Tolerating with patience.
And my time wasted to burn.
Leaving me left,
With a headache in return.
Well...
Your child I am not.
To be treated as your property.
Nor do I believe,
My investment made,
In an exchange of a conversation...
Between us both I will receive.
But,
I will leave you with this to remember.
You are not nor will not trespass,
On my consciousness.
Not here you won't.
I am too aware.
To beware of you!
I'm out.
Not to pout nor shout.
But to walk towards your door.
Open it and quietly close behind me!
Bark if you wish.
But know this,
I am not a child.
Warned to sit,
Until you finish your nonsense!
