It's not pertinent to this or any other discussion

[mousey1]

any lifetime of regret asserts itself at the beginning of the session and then questionmarks itself to death.

Poetry should be like the knife in the back, twisted effortlessly, with a wisp, just a grated rind peel of envy, applied topically at the end. A twist and a turn so the words squirm and spell out m o m m y.

It's not pertinent
this! or me!
it's not pertinent
pointless to the nth degree
it's not pertinent
and no one gives a shit
it's not pertinent
get it?
it's not pertinent
so why do I care
it's not pertinent
like fleas to a bear
it's not pertinent
so pull the wool over your eyes
it's not pertinent...
though I'm not sure why
it's not pertinent
abit inane really
it's not pertinent
who says it has to be?
it's not pertinent
it just matters to me

as a matter of fact.

As a matter of fact

you can take your pertinent
and shove it squarely
up your ass
right next to your attitude
I'll take impertinent any day
and my impertinence
shall set me free
for it is truth's gilded lily
in worn out packaging

trip over my tongue
it doesn't bother me
why should I be the only one

pertinent
is what squirrels do
when attempting to conceal their nuts
