Always Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

Always,
You can count on my honesty.
And if ever you see me,
Hopping around on one foot.
To have the other in my mouth,
I have learned to value...
More the practice of yoga.
To be reminded by someone else,
There are times...
When honesty to speak it,
May not be always,
The appropriate approach...
If an opinion solicited,
Interferes with breaking up...
One's 'hypothetical',
Relationship.
To know then when if asked,
By someone to be honest.
Don't answer until,
All the facts and details...
Have been revealed.

'Your foot?
Should be around your neck.
Not in your mouth.'

-I know.
It's not as easy as it looks.
I've already tried,
Doing it to hop on one foot.
But that's going to take,
Much too long for me to learn.-

'Always practice.
Never give up.'
