I Am a Woman, And I Speak MAG
February 12, 2013
Tongue curled to the inside of my upper lip, pushing my
Glottis, larynx, jaw, intone
My gums are sodden with opinion:
My teeth have something to say
Superior, inferior lips part when
Lateral incisors stretch saliva webs
Rough, damp tongue, cow tongue, lifts
Bears witness to my lingual frenulum.
Oropharynx shivering at phonetic violence
My soft palate trembles, strong teeth, big, pink mouth
Oropharynx contracting, lifting the mandible, ribbed trachea awakens and air
It forms the words that I speak, thus
I do.

Scientifically woven poetry, with a pivotal political message symbolised in the verses. Well done!
