i'll tell you everything

i don't think i'd hold up well
if tortured.
just the sight of a drill bit, or
a knitting needle
and i'd be giving directions
to my mother's house.
i'd give up the nuclear code,
bank accounts,
anything they needed to know.
just don't jab me with that
soldering iron.
please, put down the buzz
saw.
i'll tell you everything.
