Wearing Thin

There are times
when my tongue
runs away
and i have to chase
the little shit
as it squirms
like a snake
as i try
to throw it back
in my mouth
while it continues
speaking
knee jerk words
of truthful
brutal
honest opinions
when the situation
Required
a roundabout way
 disliked and shunned
because my
treacherous tongue
Disagreed
when our patience
began
to wear

A Little Thin
