The hesitation between the lines, the unspoken “unless,” shapes the world.
It’s a cautionary tale, a subtle retreat,
The fine print beneath life’s offers.
A whisper wrapped in politeness
A dagger gloved in silk.
How often have I heard the words..
But… you are a poor cultural fit
Caveat
Creative Experiments and More 
Unless functions as a caveat, since it needs to be considered when interpreting or applying something. Nice poetry, Reena.
