Forked Tongue
Correct the grammar
of a full mouth of
air, pausing in recollection of
where your tongue should be.
Blink once.
Blink twice.
Release the air
that brushes with
the slightly obstructed
vocal chords. Begin
communication and
reconciliation. Sparks
relay messages through
fleshy circuits
at twice the speed of
normal, for they understand.
You need this more than
they do.
