Digital Mouth

Rapid delivery; no delay that was the digital mouth I met in salon of affection a living computer device “Statue of amateur artist flowing hair of the underworld twiggy limbs of praying mantis wasp-like waist of a pin piercing mouth of mosquito scaly skin of a frog nose loaned from a hippo squatting eyes of imaginary being” One thousand words per minute digital mouth bombed me describing how pretty I am in artificial attire of hired flesh I wear around without shame borrowed from somewhere unknown, unknown! All things foreign to the ear I humbly received, swallowed from the one I wedded in heart but all is lost; for a time it was it butter became bitter; sweet, swarthy When wedlock lived is lost digital mouth is charged!
