the art of communication
we are busy either
polishing each others brass
or
tiptoeing across eggshells
when serious inquiries
are unholstered
every response or offering is a mixed drink
watered down
no one goes for the shot glass solution
the sugarcoated pill
band-aids with purple dinosaurs on them
are more the modern method
for most ages and wages
perhaps thats why I fail
with the female populace
they dont expect what i give
and I expect nothing less than what I offer
but asking for the truth
with a poker face
is calling your own bluff
the results end friendships, marriages
and other harmonious illusions
when someone you love
asks for the truth
be sure not to mistake it
for what they really want
and once youve settled on what that is
orchestrate it as gracefully as possible
the truth is the disfigurement
best kept beneath a robe
