Mind overflowing into Mouth.
Mouth restraining Thoughts
as a dam withholds a raging river.
Thoughts creeping,
seeping through Fingertips--
unacknowledged,
as a solitary droplet of water
from the river is not missed--
onto eager, empty Paper.

All the while, Ears wonder wistfully
why they must ring in
silent
