An Assumption

Rating: 5.0


even the professionals who pretend
that they can't,
need it now worse than ever.
because deep inside the brain is a
a need,
every much of a need that
shows up even on an M.R.I.
only when the need is met and that which
once
burned as fire though it can never be fully.
while the others younger
flat bellied
pears
or the cup that is so full it strains for release
and at the very center
you know it
and even the accidental
touching thereof
brings tears to the eyes from those whom know.
eye contact
straight up eye contact
and lips that move never speaking for others like
those few like me and I know.
it will be fine
why become alarmed if the umbrella
is opened for only a moment
or if between
the ridge
it is only a short distance
up and down that white cotton road.
nothing needs be exposed
no sudden revelation.
rotate
softly at first
and as the valley becomes more so
it is only a need
a natural reaction to a chemical embrace
that some are smart enough to correct with a sign.
