Expectations...?

What is the subject,behind the object,
or do you see,only what you've trained to see?

Do you go to the produce section of a market
and taste a grape before you make a purchase?

Don't we all test drive a car before we decide to buy?

Won't we read a few paragraphs before buying a book,
pre-trial music before taking it home...

Sometimes,what appears to our eyes,
isn't what we expected...but,
....What do you expect?
