my tongue, it's thick:
it was choking back my
folded up laugh; this
woman guaranteeing a
nightmare or nightmares
is so highly sought after:
i looked her up and down
and in between and
what i found was a happy
song full of brass and
plucking—it made the
right side of my mouth
tighten and relax, it
made my lips twitch.
