winner mouth

my mouth entered me in the race
oh, i can't argue with it
and not far past the starting block
my mouth and i, we split

my mouth wanted to win that race
and i just didn't care
not long after that second curve
my mouth went solitaire

my mouth pulled out ahead of me
and gained upon the pack
that it had no legs or arms or hair
did not hold my mouth back

it was among the first to cross
the yellow finish line
i came in several minutes behind
that speedy mouth of mine
