Yoko Tawada Quotes

The Faces Around Me Were Flushed From The Wine. When Jaw Muscles Relax, The Atmosphere Becomes Relaxed As Well. People's Mouths Fell Open Like Trash Bags, And Garbage Spilled Out. I Had To Chew The Garbage, Swallow It, And Spit It Back Out In Different Words. Some Of The Words Stank Of Nicotine. Some Smelled Like Hair Tonic. The Conversation Became Animated. Everyone Began To Talk, Using My Mouth. Their Words Bolted Into My Stomach And Then Back Out Again, Footsteps Resounding Up To My Brain.
