foot in mouth disease

they told me not to do it
and
i did it anyway

and
there it went
into my mouth

i tried to stop it
the ceaseless flow

tongue dancing
saliva churning

but

it had already bypassed all my anatomical control
and tapped somewhere deep 
way back
in there
behind the medulla
​
k+ ions synapsing
long after after those electrons unbalanced
disrupted
displaced
into that pre-space-time-event state
that theme
that plot
that schemata
expressed
in the most out of order ways
inappropriate
resounding
shock waves
charging along neurons
through this scrambled network
where it finally landed
in my mouth
