Too much talking wears the listener out
Keep silent then until you feel no doubt.
Learn how you can take in what they say
But don’t reply until another day
Incontinence in)2 speech can overwhelm
We can drown the other with our tongue.
If you go dumb because you feel deep grief
Emulate the insect on its leaf
Your words will not destroy your
anger’s good.
Chew your meat, for you will taste no blood
