Tongues

My tongue developed a blister,
painful and throbbing, a menace.
I thought to myself, what in the name god god is this,
I've never had such a thing before. 
It lasted days and days and then: poof,cured!
as suddenly and inexplicably as it appeared in my mouth,
just as my deepest worry came to nothing, 
With a reassurance of no harm done, it left me.
Then I read: cankers respond to stress. 
Aha. Well there you have it.
It wanted to say to me: Watch your tongue, Lady.
Shut The Fuck Up.
