Liars are easy to find MAG
March 30, 2013
Messages from the cerebral cortex
Travel the maze of nerves
Up the glistening lining of my throat
The initial thought
Is a spastic reaction
Causing lips to curve
Revealing white teeth
Flecked with moisture
Slipping tenderly from my mouth,
Drenched in shadow,
Words
Fall
To the ground
Picking themselves up,
They quiver,
Anticipating the slow
Seeping from corners of
Fissured lips
They travel along the spirals
Of conflicting nerves
Up the elevator of my spine
Twisting the double helix
To the roof of my mouth
In the ridges of my nerves
The cavities of my teeth,
They wait as
I open my mouth

Really intersting, intriguing idea. Nice job with the diction, especially verbs.
