tic
i
move
in ways
my brain can't contain
i often
spill nouns
adjectives
and verbs
before my mind
can move my lips
around the words
sometimes,
i've noticed
i make noises
while i'm riding
alone on buses
it's pretty ******* awkward
when you pick words
at random
and throw them at strangers
on the street
maybe,
it's my body
telling me
i should lose control
more often
loosen the reigns
around my teeth
stop them
from biting my tongue
so often
but mostly
i worry
about my
neurological
condition.
my tics are taking over.
