DarkPoetry -|- Lolita -|- Question

Question

Can someone please explain to me
why my jaw is hanging by a thread
just when I work up the courage
to vomit every hidden disease?

Can someone please inform me
why my teeth fall out
as soon as I promise not to bury them in my tongue
as soon as I learn to smile, instead?

And can someone please tell me
why, as soon as I perfect the language,
there's no one left to speak it?

This reminds me of the story of two guys sitting side by side. They are in saying numbers back and forth and giggling and saying comments like good one. The research can't figure out what they are doing.

Finally after a month, he realizes they are saying the next prime number to each other. It's furtherment is done in opposition until no one knows what they are talking about. So I completely agree with the last line. ~T
