pour another cabernet
but don't speak truth...
it's just not comfortable....
...create as many metaphors as you can....
but don't
give it to me unvarnished....
don't speak truth...
and keep those details to yourself......
pour another cabernet....
if you can't do it by way of some convoluted abstraction,
well......have another cabernet
some JD....JB, even......
.though you prefer Saki...I'll go get some sake....won't be a minute....
and when I come back in....don't speak truth.....
unless you plan to let it fly
in uncertain terms.....encrypted.....
some way that'll make it glisten and shimmer
and
godalmighty, it must be bloodless.....
.abstrusify the **** out of it...
.and
have another cabernet......
