Jelly-Rolled Tongue* by S.J. Tyler Take my thoughts Melt them down Into soft jelly sounds Syllables, thick and heavy Knead them into my doughy brain The skin collected between my knotted shoulders My ears between the webbing of your powerfully liquefying fingers Prod and stir Slurring vocabulary And now it is nonsensical Nonshmensical Psychological soup Boiled motor skills Random chunks of vocal ability And evaporated comprehension 04/28/2003 Author's Note: Published (Tablet) Posted on 08/19/2003 Copyright © 2025 S.J.

The melting down of separeate ingredients until the whole is better than the sum of its parts. Well crafted indeed.
