After 11 at night...

I usually issue disclaimers when I'm with someone after 11 at night. I get too honest, too questioning. Luckily there are only a handful of people who are subjected to this, one of whom says that they can tell the time by my tone and type of question... 

I find my words more easily after 11 at night. 

I am freer with my thoughts.

I will ask the questions I am afraid to ask during the day.

I will broach subjects that usually frighten me. They still do. But at night it's easier to speak.

It's easier to ask. It's easier to listen.

I don't write much after 11 at night.

If I were to write more, there would be more gauntlets thrown.

The truth would out and I would regret the questions.

The spoken queries can be forgotten or passed off as misheard or misinterpretation.

Those written down are fodder and fuel.

After 11 I am me. 

Unfiltered and unadulterated.
