if you should stumble upon
a secret, in your travels
i warn you, take haste -
with a ruler determine the length
of its sharp, needly teeth
for some secrets will gnaw away at you
and leave nothing but the bones.
with a pair of scales determine its weight,
for the burden of a secret is sometimes
best shared with another
who is strong enough to carry it.
finally, with a sharp poke determine its temper
for some secrets cannot be tamed
and should be packed away in boxes, kept
far from the light.
