Jump roping my tongue.

Narrowly avoiding the words that are in my mind to say.
They cling to my voice, avoiding the breath that will carry them out.

It's not a frog in my throat... its these silly words.
Tearing up everything else I say, making my words the husks of what they once were.
Now hollowed words by my reserve, but once hallowed words by the subject matter.
