It can cut like a knife
or heal a thousand wounds;
its power is immeasurable.
It can be salty and crude
or sweet like fresh honey;
its potency is irrefutable.
It can be short and quick
or long and drawn out;
its timing is impeccable.
So learn to listen and be slow to speak
for what leaves the tongue is irreversible.
