Words are pushed into my mouth,
and like a kick in the teeth, I feel my gums start to bleed as enamel cracks and crushes into the soft flesh of my palate. It hurts so much, I'm dripping with blood and tears of pain but still the words are shoved further, until I am gasping and gagging - choking on miscommunications and my own broken teeth. My tongue is swelling - becoming grotesquely engorged - and perhaps this is good - words cannot be spoken without a tongue, and thus no further words can be shoved and crowded into my unwilling mouth.
