what connotations that brings to mind
like I can answer back, which indeed I do
my faculties make artful use of this orafice
as I reflect on circular muscles
that make it move..

I have a mouth and oral expression
express myself when in depression
rarely now, found more constructive thought
to move mouth muscles positively...self-taught.


I have this mouth with which I chew
my tongue has space from which words issue
and the combination of being fed and feeding words
is what makes humanity eat and digest what's heard!


I have an entrance to a gullet then
from which song notes pour rare blends
accompagnied by taste buds all around
notes bounce off sensitive hairs...
eureka, there's sound!


I have a mouth to speak its piece
yet peace never lasts on lips that speak
part of a bigger game with mouths that move
passing rules that are temporarily approved.

Gentle Spirit,

Thanks for reading.Never followed into any autogenic program on how to cope.. just learned from example and today the corners of my mouth are more likely to turn up then down.

Ethome,

glad you liked this oral piece..hehe
