Reminding Poem by shimon weinroth

Reminding



I told you so,
lets off a lot of steam
which burns and scalds the auditor
such remarks as i told you so,

is said in triumph, anger and reprimand
creates hostility and passions for revenge
told you so's are saved up,
put in vinegar and formaldehyde

exhibited in confrontations,
base arguments and insipid discussions,
locked away in bad memory lanes,
fester and poison the smooth amical streets

told you so's cause heart burns,
to both parties
no amount of pharmasueticals or asprins
can erase the damage,

when next you think to say,
I told you so, bite your tongue,
swallow the thought of
false victory, lurking in the mind
