upsides and down

The downside of honesty
is that truth is the hardest

thing to clarify
or take back.

The upside though,
you don’t spend
your life

swallowing. Shrinking
from imagined, calculated
impacts, unable to risk
putting what you mean
in words when it counts.
No practice, not in
the habit. Sometimes

we all slip. It
seems largely a case

of whether you'd like
it to be obvious why.

Or whether you'd like
to be able to slip
free and hide
