Be It Trivial And Mundane Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

Be It Trivial And Mundane



Forgiving the mundane and trivial,
Accepted by many in a place where it is prevalent...
And it has become a way of life,
Rotating in the minds of those unconscious...
Eventually is sought as an event one seeks,
After one has returned from being energized...
Where people are kept excited without getting sleep.
With it done 24/7 and on crowded streets.
Or know what it's like to keep a peace of mind,
Amongst the ones who remain mundane and trivial.
And I never would have thought,
I would find that to love.

'You seem to like it here.
You once expressed a hatred for it.'

I was young, dumb and full of inexperience 'then'.
But...
The more I age,
I've become more appreciative...
Of the 'sameness' of it I know will not change.
Be it trivial and mundane.
With it here to be had to keep me glad.
If I was one to have not adventured to explore,
Very early in life as I did...
This place would bore me to tears.

'I find it a recycling that dares to go to the edge.
And I'm prepared for climax.
But it never happens.'

And at my age each stage I've reached,
I've gotten my climax.
To leave me with a cigarette habit.
And I never intended 'that' to happen.
