(assignment: write about something you’ve never experienced.)
My tongue feels too big for my mouth, and
Someone else’s fingers prod
My numb lips
Coasters
Where are the coasters? I forgot to use one
I press the glass to my face, but the condensation
Is long since gone I exhale
and swipe my tongue through the film of fog
Fingerprints! No matter
The liquid will be warm, but it is brown
and I think will burn the itch in my throat
My lips buzz
Has gravity always been down?
