The Anatomy Of Presumption Marie Karr
THE ANATOMY OF PRESUMPTION
All the hour spent on litter
I was picked d gooey from the Dumpster
All the hour preferable denied
Because of uncertainty
Is like a law that I transgressed
Not even the sky could find
Justification for my foolishness
All the hour should have been
Offered to writing an epitaph
Or carving a cenotaph
But I drank a potion instead
It made me wriggle, squirm and flit
Shudder intensely
Something I thought Sometime would
Somewhere put me to –nothing—
Nothing at all
This potion I drank (which should’ve been
Poison hemlock)
Galvanized my imminent death.
And death I talked about
As heavy as a bullet on my nose
I tried to escape but I do not know
Death had an appointment with me somewhere
else; Speak not when you are Not God
Not even Love, the greatest force of all
Could ever foretell the future.
