placing your tongue between your teeth
is a verified way of tasting the weight
on your shoulders and fighting tmj
knowledge of such chronic stress conditions you may
wish to enumerate a list of all potential symptoms

as the culminated clog of failures
have been known to predate the loss of all civil rights
however it should be known that the fashion is to flash your weakness
forgoing the securities you bought with liberties
in a show of mistaken masculinity that happily applies
to women and all future oppressed classes

thus as long as you taste between oil and copper
your metallicity is at an acceptable level to splurt
into a plastic bottle to then be contaminated
dehydrated and reinjected in a circulature
better suited for pain than altruism

all others should consult a magician
as you may be in a realm that I wish to inhabit
or so close to dead that necromancy is required
