mouthwash

i tip the glass,
and the brown liquid
wallpapers my cheeks,
hangs sconces on the ridges
of the roof of my mouth,
constructs wading pools
in the recesses of my molars,
and plants wheat and corn fields
in my receptive gums.

the rest of my mouth
doesn't even want
to give my tongue
a chance.
