jawline update: humming

dreamt something was trying to speak through my spine.
not pain. more like… firmware.

woke up tasting blood.
teeth look longer.
one of them flexed when I touched it.

floor’s vibrating. could be the train.
could be something else tuning in.

someone across the street is screaming,
but it’s only in my jaw.
a modem handshake. 1997 vibes.
i’m the wire.

whispered it out loud just now:
“it’s not pain. it’s installation.”
