What you get from assuming:
Like holding your breath
when you’re about to get wet
Like wanting a prize
you know you won’t get
Like scooting out backwards
from under a bed
Like straining your eyes
in a cave full of webs
Like slapping a face
with pain and regret
Like losing the memory
of someone you’ve met
May you recognize serendipity when it comes your way.
assuming is NOT a good thing...at all...

I'm quite sure i've missed it often...(sigh)

On its path through our universe
Less wrong than incomplete, like the first
Facet seen of a complex structure's
Like a piece of truth's petticoat
Even its wearer does't know has shown
Reasonable and necessary to proceed
Before all relevant facts are known
