WHY DID YOU SAY...?

"the good thing is you mean what you say"

don't you?
don't other people?
why wouldn't i?
don't you know these words come straight from the very core of me?
unmeditated by better judgement
untempered by my common sense
raw and unpolished
honestly
unbidden

unasked
unanswered
naive
rhetoric

without contrivance or contrition
