You open your mouth –
part-time slaves, part-time masters
emerge–all your words.
My tongue finds each one.
I taste and roll them around –
swallow verbs and nouns.
Let’s fill to bursting
my giant dictionary
with your new entries.
Commingling, melding,
fumbling into each other.
No sentence structure.
Words in disarray.
We scatter Scrabble letters.
Every night, we play.
Poet Rummager 
Wow. Awesome job, you guys.

I heard that swallowing too many verbs or nouns can cause someone to get laryngitis! The words simply dissolve and can’t be spoken.
