Assumptions

Believe they have a lot of

Gumption

They function

From abdominal junctions

Abominable luncheons

Behind closed doors

Around the pulsating

Galactic core

They're densely clustered

Pretending to be our lovers

        Personification of concepts is great from the abstract to the concrete. A great metaphor and well done in a most entertaining manner. Loved it

      • Poetic Licence

        A very entertaining read that would go well to music, enjoyed

        • Mutley Ravishes

                Is the last word bastards?

                • Mutley Ravishes

                  Yes! But then paradoxically I guess I should be grateful to them for highlighting (some of) the errors of my ways. Thanks for dropping by.

                  Assumptions were defined as: "making an ass of me." You're suggesting a foul dinner created them?! Hmm. Dunno. Interesting, you rascal. Thank you for sharing.

                  • Mutley Ravishes

                    What created them? That's a great question! Just how did these assumptions become a part of my experience? All I can come up with is the Fall which led (preceded?) to ignorance, which in turn leads to false assumptions, craving and aversion. Why did we fall? That's yet another can of worms!
                    Thanks for dropping by.

                      You're very welcome. My pleasure.

                      that is a truly powerful message, but alas, not many understand it, and keep assuming

                      • Mutley Ravishes

                        Thank you! As a writer/teacher put it, ignorance of the law of assumption and the role of Imagination has made this planet a prison of blood, sweat and tears.

                        • NafisaSB

                          i agree with you here, but it's sad that people continue to see, but do not observe what's happening, and the result is so often devastating
                          anyways, have a lovely day

                          • Mutley Ravishes

                            Yes, it’s sad! Have a great day too.
