something that won't come out of my mouth
MATTHEW SAVOCA
something that won't come out of my mouth
are my teeth
although i haven't tried pliers or knives,
just pulling with my fingers
and i didn't actually pull,
i just kind of touched my teeth
gently with one finger
and then exhaled slowly
something that won't come out of my mouth
is your mouth
something that won't come out of my mouth
is a hairdryer
what the fuck?
something that won't come of my mouth
ARE MY TEETH
although i haven't tried very hard
something that won't come out of my mouth
are your teeth, or tongue; oh, i'm so sorry
something that won't come out of my mouth
is an apology
(oh there it is, that's what we wanted)
something that won't come out of my mouth
is a moth
unless one flies into my mouth
and i don't swallow it
and then it flies back out
past my teeth
if they're still there
something that won't come out of my mouth
is a motherfucking moth
because i will never again open it
near a florescent light
when it's dark
something that won't come out of my mouth
is the darkness
it is always in there
being useless and black
something that won't come out of my mouth
is a racist comment
or what you just said:
that maybe the only thing you can do in life is have three babies
something that won't come out of my mouth
is no, or yes;
i just won't say anything
and hope that the sentence goes away, out of the air, and
something that won't come out of my mouth
is air, or my teeth
