Analysis of 24/7
Lawrence S. Pertillar 1947 (Connecticut)
Not hard it is to judge.
Anyone.
From head to toe.
Up and down.
Back and front.
Those scrutinized close.
Familiar.
With the uninvited eye scan.
Not hard it is to judge.
And disrespecting publicly.
24/7
Anyone.
Leaving people who do what they choose,
Without seeking to be approved.
To know nobody knows better than they do,
What it takes to get things done,
24/7
Monday through Sunday.
And not a minute of it wasted,
Drooling to lick lips as if...
More than eyes are gazing fixed,
To packages carried as minds imagine...
Whose helping who do the unpacking.
While passing judgement to pretend,
Themselves experts in the field of Anatomy.
24/7
