Subject: Making an Assumption

Making an Assumption


Some who read my poetry call it bottom of the pile garbage,
they say it needs much rewriting;
object to my thoughts, say I’m all wrong:
well now, can a thought be wrong?

Hey, maybe they’re just afraid: people do fear
what they can’t understand:
it’s so much easier to scorn than to accept–
many still do not realize it is the child
who enters the kingdom of wisdom!

I’d be the first to admit: I don’t have a degree;
I failed barn cleaning at age twelve!
(though I do mow lawns on temporary permits)

My brain doesn’t function the way most do
but it does force me to see
there’s a “fool on the hill” kind of world inside my head
and if I know something not mentioned
in the smart guys training manuals, can I help it?

Criticism is but an assumption
basted, battered and baked in fear.
May I never have to eat its dried up crumbs.
