“The doctor sits me on a table and asks me to stick out my tongue. I do. I ask him if he sees the paintings I carry in the back of my throat. He laughs as if I’m telling a joke, I’m not. I’ve got Basquiat, Schiele, Van Gogh, and Da Vinci so when I laugh, I taste brushstrokes. I ask him if he can stick out his tongue so I can see what he has trapped inside of him. He hesitates a little then he does and I see a man who struggles for acceptance and chokes on the word Love.” - Lacey Roop; from “The Parts of Humans Science Can’t Explain”
