a paralysis of lips and tounge
words escape nonetheless, upon
reaching the ears of the second party
paralysis (instant) of the body

and while a single computation of mind
is rendered useless by the function of emotion
this is insulated, satiated disbelief
ironic mindplay for the lovelorn cynic

a subdued surge of
e
lec
tric
i
ty
sputters through the mouth

shock-k-k-k

"okay. i guess."
