Back Home, My Own
Some said, ”Stay 'way from her,
that girl never brings no good.”
Some said, ”She’s just a prude,
don’t know a good time like she should.”
Some said, ”She’s much too loose,
she’d gonna leave you with a disease.”
Some said, ”She’s an ice-queen,
won’t commit, nothin’ but a tease.”
I find myself intrigued,
this girl that can’t fit in,
those walking contradictions
always make me

Crazy Train
Some with the gumption
who continually
jump to assumptions
and with no allusions
always arrive
at wrong conclusions
board the wrong train
again and again
and in total frustration
never alight
at the right station
off-track inference prevails
their train of thought
is off the rails
it's repetitive inanity
Einstein had a word for that
he called it 'Insanity'
and let's not forget those
excuse me for speaking
while you're interrupting
(he did mutter)
compelled to

Four Hundred Thousand
Four hundred thousand waking hours passed
A blink of an eye, it seemed so fast
Between when he was born to the month he would die
His mind replayed it as his sons gathered by.
He said "I raised you well, but there’s no rule
To prevent all mistakes, to foolproof a fool.
Jim, there was no advice I could share
You

Two faced science
I trusted all doctors, thought they know best
So many years learning, a noble quest
They want to do well by helping you
But from any kind of knowledge, evil can brew.
Scott was a dentist, a noble career
But to ethical rules he did not adhere
If you sat in his chair, he'd put a crown on your tooth
Insurers paid

Lazy Assumptions
Its always there.
And no doubting
Turmoil-spanning, will ever be.
As firm, in bridge
Heart, Love bolsters.
Walked all over; too casually.

Assumptions
There are certain deleterious effects
consequential developments and
conditional signs and symptoms
of being called-out, named, accused, or branded
of being, ever so slightly, a poet.
People may assume you live s cloistered, retiring,
purely academic existence, sipping only the rarified air
of your meditative being. Or
they might label you and your ephemeral art
as the drunken babble of an incoherent street poet.

Evolution Prevails

Visualizing imperfections scrambled and mangled influenced by gravity
The impetus to thrive derailed by power causing an impending disaster
Exacting unbearable efforts urging mortals

Learning To Laugh At Our Own Assumptions
Sometimes we are too quick to make assumptions,
Leading to I don't get this moments,
When the answer is so simple,
You can only ovoid ridicule,
If you are the first to laugh,
At such an obvious fluff.
Take a simple floor puzzle,
You are working on with your grandson,
A straightforward mission,
To putt together a Thomas The Tank Engine puzzle,
No way you

Submissive Assumptions
Revealing what may be
rhetorical perspective
Concealing vagueness of
others as a collective
Irrational is the truth
from all the official lies
Impractical to expose
those once thought so wise
Anonymously to be judged,
I then had to reflect
Inconspicuously to be ignored,
just show me respect
Dismissiveness from others
can be so undeserved
Submissive

Assumptions
David J Walker
The days of emptiness
Were words I could not speak
Dreams that had no depth
Death that could not wind
Nor bind the time
Around the mantel clock
Lost restless sleep
While
The pendulum has peaked
And reached its furthest view
Tomorrow's paradigm was seen
In twilights past the in-between
Exposing what is new
Assuming it is true

He Left Me In 1984
He Left Me in 1984
David J Walker
He left me everything he had
unique
the way that fathers
Never seem to say
Exactly what they mean like
I love you
He left me with my slice of
The sense of guilt
Between a father and a son
Things not said
Things left undone
At best, assumption and
Hopeful presumption
He left me

False Assumptions
I once was 5'4
Anf in the eyes of everyone
I'm still late that height
Even though I've corrected them
Countless of times
Just because I'm a girl
They wont accept that
My height is at the lowest 5'9
They choose to assume I'm short
But I'm tall
I've made up my mind
To ignore people with poor assumptions
And ignore
