Assume Nothing of Storms
For an hour
Cicadas saw at the early August evening
While thunder purrs as kittens
In the yarn of dark clouds balled up out west over Ionia County
Trees prepare their umbrellas
The Tigers on TV swing away in the 3rd inning
A good book in hand
Then out of hand
A den of lions-wind roars outside our patio window
Devours the screens
I jump

Assume and Presume
We impute to the animal kingdom
human thoughts and emotions
My kitty licks herself, so I assume
she's a cleanliness bug
Yet when a big kitty, like a tiger
is eyeing me to eat
I presume that she's starving
when

Some girls should learn to be modest,
Some Boys should learn not to eat with their eyes.
Some Women should learn to hold their tongues,
Some Men should learn not to use or cheat,
Some People should stay innocent as long as they can,
Some And others should not corrupt them.
Some Parents shouldn’t hurt their children,
Some Children shouldn’t speak foul

Never Assume
she was taken by surprise as she reached a pinnacle of confusion
rather used to hitting the wall this time a mirror blocked her way
‘back to square one’ it seemed to suggest but edgy as she was
it mocked her because she was used to running in skewed circles
whenever an obstacle loomed and there were too many

Assume We Survived
let it be known that these are uncharted waters.
let it be known that this is a backwards wreckage at sea, where i save myself before the ship goes down,
where i only realize i’m sinking when i’m well past dead.
let it be known that this isn’t a tragedy.
this is the moment before the

Just Ask, Do Not Assume
beginning to lose her patience;
short-tempered quite frequently no one knows, for she goes unnoticed
not one has seen the flame once so small for now its a blazing and raging fire within. she remains silent. only to concentrate solely on her journey at hand. with daily strength and success for almost a year now.

Do Not Assume
Do not assume something about me that's gonna make you look like a fool.
1- I do not love no one but myself and my son.
For I find the rest are not worthy of love.
And I could also see that's why you so desperate trying to make me sick going around coming up with different

You May Assume
You may assume that I am a grizzly bear because you hear me growl. Until you see that I am merely scratching my back or singing my song.
You may assume that I am a kitten because you hear me purr. Until you see me licking my paws after a fresh kill.
You may assume I am

Always Assume
I live
where the other world meets reality
Always Assume
ignoring, staring
at blinding glances of sun rays
I die
alone in a crowded room
echoed stress
deafening what’s assumed
Assume wrong
and wrong you will be
Assume long
and think of what they see
Assume strong
and read each body note
Assume gone
and despair overruns hope
