inside my mouth/and near the left corner of my mouth/there is a nub of inner mouth tissue/raised enough so that my left canine

and the sharp tooth below it can gently notquitebite it/and they do notquitebite it/in my times of nervous contemplation

there is a counterpart nub/ near the right corner of my mouth too/ but i tend not to notquitebite it/probably because of my handedness/for as it turns out/in addition to me being left-handed/and left-footer and left-eyed/it only stands to reason/that i would be left-mouthed too

I have wondered over the years if my fellow human beings have nubs like these/or if i am a mutation

if you/have a nub or two/please comment/for you are not alone
