Special And Loved
Lawrence S. Pertillar 1947 (Connecticut)
If many had felt,
They were special and loved.
Without perceiving to be judge.
And conditionally scrutized,
From head to toe.
By someone who does this.
Claiming what they do,
Is what lovers often prove...
How much their love is the true thing.
No who is special and loved.
And conditionally scrutinized,
Inside and outside wherever they may go?
This is nothing more than imprisonment.
Committed to be leashed like a pet.
However...
Some pets are at least given the permission,
To conduct their business.
Without being instructed how to do that best!
'What are you doing in the bathroom.
With the door closed and locked?
I know you hear me knocking.'
'I'm praying to Mother Nature.
To release my business peacefully.
For at least 10 minutes to get some rest!'
'Rest?
Who in the World does their business.
And rest at the same time.
To believe this done to do,
Achieves for them success?!
You always find excuses to leave me alone,
By myself.
And what is that noise?
You've done it two times!'
'I'm flushing the toilet!'
'Oh!
You could have kept that to yourself.
T.M.I.'
'That's a surprise.'
'Surprise?
Surprise about what?'
'You didn't ask me to inspect my business.
To determine if what I did,
Had been accomplished.
With your approval and permission to give.'
'Don't be ridiculous.
I'm just concerned.
That's all.
I had been in the kitchen.
Talking on the phone.
When I heard you humming.
Then stop.
When I began to knock.
On the bathroom door.
I'm going back into the kitchen.
Okay!'
'WHEW.
That's a relief.'
'Relief?
What is that suppose to mean?'
'I'm thanking Mother Nature.
Do you mind?'
'What should I mind?
It's your business.
Not mine.'
'Since when?'
'I'm concerned.
You act as if you never get privacy.'
'In what prison is that done?'
'Hush up.
I want you to help me cook supper!'
'Just pour it from a bag.
Or open a can.
I'll pretend I'm satisfied.
Whatever it is you bought at the pet store.'
'LOL...
Will stop with that!
You should be thrilled and happy,
That I love you as much as I do.'
'Words alone could not express my joy.'
