we think we know
but we don’t
why that guy
cut us off in traffic
why the waitress at our favorite lunch spot
was snippy with us today
why that young woman
is crying in target
we think we know
but we don’t
why the lady in gray
purses her lips in disapproval
why that little boy
rarely wears shoes
why the grocery store checker
never seems to smile
we think we know
but we don’t
we say “oh he’s just a jerk”
or we imagine she’s being abused
neither might be right
yet both may be true
we think we know
but we don’t
assumptions
conjectures
speculations
sometimes helpful
sometimes dangerous
we think we know
but we don’t
