This afternoon lightning hit
my freshly filled backtooth
and suddenly I understood
the leaves linguistics. The woods spoke
Babylonic. Admit it:
you've always been aware.
It was in the air. The slander in the sediment.
the stylish rustling
rumour, the finely veined presumption.
With a superhuman crack
I closed my mouth and let my tongue
bleed empty. Ow, what wit.
