PLEASE DO NOT ADJUST THIS HUMAN
PLEASE DO NOT ADJUST THIS HUMAN
The verbs all slide 'bout
in my mouth but
I just can't get 'em out!
I swallow all my nouns &
adjectives & curses
clinging to
my soft palate.
I think "ouCH!"
but can't say it.
"*******..." I think some more
"*******!"
as my swearing doesn't seem to be
working!
"Well. . ." I think
"...at least I can still think..I think!"
I try to string a
couple a words together.
Somehow manage to
spit out some vowels!
"O!" I oh. "Eeee!" I eeee.
The consonants mutter to themselves
"...gggghhhhh fck t!"
The bump blooms
on the back of my head.
Blood laughs all over
my hair.
A notice appears
in my mind.
My mind's eye wonders why it is
written in double.
PLEASE DO NOT ADJUST
THIS HUMAN.
NORMAL HUMAN WILL BE
RESUMED AS SOON AS
...POSSIBLE!
