Analysis of Basic And Simple
Lawrence S. Pertillar 1947 (Connecticut)
Living drama and B.S. free!
What other way,
Could there possibly be...
To enjoy life?
Without apologies or excuses to make,
For saying how one feels.
And meaning what one says.
No reading between these lines.
With a letting it known,
What is given to receive...
Is returned to give back,
That which is basic and simple enough...
To understand and comprehend,
A doing understood needless to explain!
Since...
One full Moon bared to show,
Invites lips to kiss that validates...
A message sent and personally delivered.
The choice offered...
To respond or not,
Does not change...
A displaying bare of one's Moon!
