assume

“ Writing and talk do not prove me,
I carry the plenum of proof and every thing else in my face,
With the hush of my lips I wholly confound the skeptic.” — Walt Whitman

Assumptions might be assigned one’s
middle name — should one attain to —
a certain — size — unreliable,
unemployable, unlovable, unbelievable,
unfuckable — but label-able! Die soon,
don’t care, can’t fun — gobbledygook
fulfilling. Clearly clueless! Obviously
stupid! When others afford a surfeit of
reasons and excuses, disdain and only
one single solitary thing to blame …
imagine inside this — oversized (wtf) —
skin: my mien, all wrong, stay home,
be proved by your condemnation.

  1. Some great startlingly short sentences. "Fun" as a verb. Gobbledygook=poetry? Or math? Or just a substitute for something someone has said? The "ble" words, all in a row like that, a river (of condemnation?) I love the word "mien." Good poem, worrying mood. (Macoff) XO
