Mouth and Ear

Sometimes my mouth
whispers to my ear
without movement; I feel the 
vibrations travel through
my head.

I'd spy on it, clamp it,
but it says vile, shocking
things I never 
would. 

The sound 
resonates within me.
My ears try 
to cut the cord 
but only amplify the screech:
inside me a giant ring 
is ringing and I can't
let others hear it.
