Facial Tics
even though you keep
your lips closed you're
speaking for me but it's
not some sort of trickery
or witchery but from
where i'm sitting
on your knee
some sort of
slight of hand
but your fingers
tickle my test
results that
i've always
known that
it's naturally
enlarged so
no harm no
foul while
i'm still your
dummy and
after the act
you will ex
actly put
me back
in the case
you keep
locked
so all my talking
stays blocked but
some day a
curious one
who seeks
to peek and
possibly
hear a
some
what
whisper
from your
or my trunk
but won't
make out
clearly me
other then
reading
what to order
from a chinese
menu for you're
and always will
be my ventril
oquist for the
thoughts i
think aren't
