take a razor and tuck it between the gums and the inside of your lips, just underneath the nose and cut across, short steady strokes, making your way past the molars, prying your thick fingers inbetween the gumline and the pink slick insides of your mouth, and work your way down and around, saliva and blood sticky down your forearms, you look like you’re flossing, both hands crammed in there, mouth agape, top teeth shiny, slightly yellowed and outlined in red, cutting, working, around and down the inside of the jawline, bottom teeth flooded and crooked, tugging the bottom lip to get to the inside just before the chin, switching hands and back at it again, a little more unsure now with the left, again to the molars, the muscle holding the jaw together giving some resistance, and up and back to where you started.
you drop the razor into the sink, pausing before the mirror, then take both hands to your bottom lip, and pull down.
