My Mouth Doesn'T Fit On These Words
My mouth doesn’t fit on these words
Yet I swallow them reluctantly
A loose fit, if any, makes up for lost time
And a corruption in my stomach is so appropriate
She writes better than me
I’m more clever than she
And the words sit to spoil my appetite
Never leaving, never heaving
My mouth doesn’t fit on these words
Shall I adjust my lips to this toxic text?
