The lips that bite the tip of the tongue,

The teeth that cure the nails of their size,

The foot that has a place to transgress,

The thumb that sees a home for its salt,

The head that wants a wall to be hit,

The nose that obtrudes in a private field,

The knees that knock the air together,

The lips that bite the tip of the tongue -

The fingers on the mouth.
