Our tongue

11/12/2021 Nilson Lattari

Sometimes, our tongue doesn’t fit in our mouth if we are happy. If it starts to speak, it will mean that the end of speaking is far away or if it stands by, in silence, it is warning us that something is wrong or we will have bad times ahead.
Our tongue moves slowly in our mouth when it tries our favorite food, plenty of pleasure, and our mother places it on the table or our grandmother cooks the special meal that we love.
Our tongue dances with another tongue when we fall in love. And there is no song around us, only the imagined sound of the imagination going to our heads. Then, something happens inside ourselves, we create air castles and we see birds around us.
Our tongue knows a lot of languages spoken by other mouths. There will be surprise and danger if we whisper secrets close to another ear, and then they will go off through other tongues and their meaning will change. Then they will be out-of-control secrets.
If our tongue talks to other people, it might re-evaluate personal values, it might change opinions, and it might believe in other beliefs, a different life for everyone. Our tongue carries us out to many places, to the prison or to the freedom. Sometimes, someone warns us to shut it up, and our tongue keeps quiet and waits for the storm to pass for speaking when the fresh air gets back.
Our tongue tastes a lot of flavors and often enjoys them or doesn’t, but goes on self confident and brave.
Sometimes, our tongue snoops people and scares them. Or another person tries to keep it silent or threatens us to cut it if we protest against the enemies of liberty because the truth is a dangerous thing.
If our tongue sees horror and omission it could get mute until, until we achieve the scream of victory or not. It feels the pleasure of the first sip of beer and after that doesn’t feel anything until the last one.
Sometimes, our tongue doesn’t fit in our mouth if we are happy. It is able to be and to do a lot of things. Then, we ask: How will our tongue fit in our mouth if it is so capable of making a lot of things?
