What happens when you Assume

By freudian-slip

Not quite exactly evidenced based

but make no mistake
I'll be right up in your face
until you're counting the pores on my skin

It's just my passionately-fueled
intention
It's meaningful
and rock fucking solid

and did I mention
that I think I'm right?

meanwhile
I'll count the moments spent waiting
for your head buried in the sand-

response...

not quite prepared enough
to be swallowing my pride
followed by a delicate foot-

like sand scratching it's way
past my overworked windpipe

see the proof of my accuracy
has been mauled
once again
by my immaturity

deep fried in insecurity


I should learn how to keep my Jersey mouth shut
