drop the mike

we all have a drop
the mike
moment. when the right words
are finally uttered,
when the deal is done
and there is no turning back.
the mattered is settled,
there's no mincing, no
sidestepping, no cautious
whispers. it's a straight
up shout, face to face,
eye to eye.
the words spill out
without thought, but
convey perfectly what
needs to be said
and heard. I laugh
when I think about it.
it's such a fine
moment. a release
of frustration and
anger. finally here's
what I've been meaning
to say to you for quite some
time. so you say it.
boom. you drop
the mike and walk.
there is no going back.
