Taste of Emotion

Take Note:  Every true emotion has a true flavor, as it has a designated place in the body and mouth Disappointment is so thick with dish soap, a hardening dirty ball in the upper gut which was once soft expectation, rolling on the whole back of the tongue. Not a chance to bring disappointment forward to release the want that will never be. Disappointment fades only in loo of Distraction. Fear is a mouth full of a 9volt battery. Sweet- sour metallic unknown. So sudden this trigger of flight occurs that it can grip the mind while heart tries to fly, to hide, even to...stop. Fear can root itself, piercing the sides of the tongue, paralyzing screams, often enjoying the quiver. Anger is made of the most fowl bile within the body. Not so much of a flavor, more of an energy, that when spewed forth the first word infects the entire system. Beware the wrath of Anger for it is blind to consequence. Anger is sour and acidic, blistering the throat and tongue, causing only more convoluted confusion to infect the minds of others.
