Porn Star
Lawrence S. Pertillar 1947 (Connecticut)
Something done so intriguing.
Innovative and unique.
Exposed upfront and in the face.
Naked!
Completely mixed with explicit sex.
Comedy and racial diversity.
And...
Daringly released as a movie.
Over 47 years ago.
Fourty Seven years...ago!
Managing to remain,
Controversial.
Entertaining, appalling, offensive.
With just enough disgust,
To leave those and their pretensions...
Left livid everything they view it.
'Only a porn star can do that.'
'No!
Only a brilliant performance can do that!
Captivating with talent.
And someone who knows,
What innovation is.
To keep it remaining timeless.'
'How would anyone know,
What they did almost 50 years ago,
Will still maintain that same controversy!?'
'Oh?
Then...
Why just that one movie?
Why not more?'
'Humility.
Modesty.
Too humble to self promote.'
'Long before the internet.
Cellphones and 'selfies'.
'What was done had been meant to intend!'
'Meant to intend what?'
'A message to convey it,
Will sometimes need...
An attraction of distractions,
That keeps people riveted to their seats.
Disbelieving,
The method used to do it!
