The Wrongs and Rights of Judgment

Is it wrong to say
that I have already judged
the entire character of your being
based on how you stand from across the room?

Or perhaps wrong
that I have already passed
my opinion of your attitudes along
to others solely by the way your shirt is worn?

Maybe I am wrong
to leap to such quick
assumptions about who you are
and what your belief system might possibly entail.

Might I be wrong
since there is the full
possibility that you are only
responsible for a select few number of your actions.

Quite wrong to leap
without looking or to
understand who I might be judging
and creating the opinions about, given others' suggestions.

But am I wrong
when you decide to
have a conversation with us
and after only one minute of speaking prove me right?
