Soap

So you left the soap in your mouth a little too long.
Big deal. It burns and turns into a bitter creme,
it might make you cry but it's your own damn fault
for being obscene. Your words hold you up
and your words hold you down. Spit it up,
or keep it down. No one is stopping you now.
Go ahead, show us how much you've grown.
Practice your very adult-like tone of voice.
Intonation, detonation. Defuse the youth
in you and pry your priorities from the groove.
It's your move. Say something delicious.
Or say nothing at all, else you lose.
