What if I held on to my tongue with both hands?

What if a woman I traveled with had said some exceptionally cruel things about another of our fellow travelers?

What if I knew that if I repeated her words, she would be alienated from the whole group?

What if I was having a hard time holding on to these telling words?

What if I saw myself open my mouth and watched as the angels came in and vacuumed all of the negativity off of my tongue?
