Two Mouths Poem by Jack Galmitz

Two Mouths



In midtown in broad daylight, two mouths were yelling at each other. 'I know what you did, ' said the mouth with red lipstick. 'How could you? ' taunted the mouth with clear lip gloss. 'You're just a mouth. 'I have my ways, ' retorted the wide open mouth with red lipstick.
'I hear things, ' said the mouth with red lipstick. 'You have no ears you idiot, ' said the mouth with clear lip gloss.
'I have informants. They pass information to me through my taste buds. So there, ' shouted the mouth with red lipstick.
As the arguing heated up, the mouth with red lipstick suddenly bit the mouth with clear lip gloss. It drew blood.
The crowd that had gathered sighed a loud 'oh' in response to the spiraling into violence. Someone called 911.
A policeman on his beat arrived. He put out his hands and separated the two mouths. 'What's going on here? ' he demanded.
The overwrought mouth with clear lip gloss cried, 'she bit my lip and it's bleeding.' 'Is that right? ' asked the policeman. 'She was causing me emotional distress, ' retorted the mouth with red lipstick.
'Look, I'll have to run you both in unless you both calm down. Can you do that for me? Can we have a civil discourse here? '
