When do you tell
the truth that turns
words to uncontrollable
watering in a
puckered mouth?

Is it best to
spill the beans,
a clean floor
treacherously
dirty in one sentence?

Or should it unravel
like string, my
listener slowly
seeing the connection
(or disconnection)?

Do you do it today?
Tomorrow? Yesterday?
Or a month from
three hours from now?

When do you tell
the truth, not to mention
how?
