Inquiry

People make assumptions all the time
And not always so well. I could not say
How often people think, because I rhyme,
I must conceive of things a different way.
It's possible I do; I can't assume
That everybody else thinks just like me.
But neither can I simply choose to zoom
Over to the other side, and be
Too certain they do not. I know enough
To know I am not sure, which must suffice.
And though uncertainty itself is tough,
False positives also exact their price.
And that is how I think; so tell me now
Is how you think too? And if not, how?
