there's something i need to tell you

there's a point
in nearly every
new relationship where
one or
the other leans across the table
and in a conspiratorial whisper says,

there's something i need to tell you.

whatever follows that sentence
is never good. it's more than likely
a game changer.

it's best at that point to raise
your hand to flag the waiter
down
and give him or her the international signal
for check please,
rubbing your thumb and fingers
together.

no need to hear anymore.
time to go.
