Assumptions

“People assume

Too much”

Alan Davies

Told me

On Bowery

Street, NYC

Back in

The day,

Early eighties.

I’m an

Uneasy traveler.

I assume

That’s because

I don’t

Know where

I am.

I am

Assuming though

That there

Will be

A reckoning.

I reckon

That an

Assumption is

Something like

The weather

That one

Exists within.

Or perhaps

A coat

One wears

When venturing

Out in

Bad weather.

I assume

That assumptions

Are built

From funds

Of inexperience

As well

As experience.

I assume

That I

Am on

A path

To  _____.

I assume

A lot.

I assume

That you

Might want

To talk.

I assume

That we

Want more

From one

Another than

Can be

Easily given.
