Assumptions
Assumptions
A room empty with dirty walls.
Navajo white with smoke stains .
The lighter areas that used to be covered with paintings and shelf’s .
Nail holes like the punctures in his heart .
Gone .... the past 25 years .
Poof .... it’s all so tenuous .
Having something ... taking things for granted .
Assumptions that proved terribly wrong .
Funny how the perspective changes when it’s not your decision.
The floors ... ancient oak .. irregular pieces .
They blend together in a warming way.
The outcasts when out together are beautiful in their imperfections.
Everyone wants to be a part of something .
The empty shell of a former home.
It will move on with cosmetic changes .
The grass in back .
The now gone redwood hot tub.
Streisand , Garland and Fight Club
DVDs left behind .
What was was . What is is . Now is now .
Tomorrow is unknown ... it will definitely evolve elsewhere .

Hey , it’s been a couple years in this site . Right now I’m just settling down and am going to work on getting out a better product . The stuff that is obviously trash will probably be booted. I really have no beef with anyone .... A lot of what I write is about working out a particular demon . A lot is about trying new methods based on the feedback on the poems . .
