They drip anaesthetic
from their clacking, slurping fangs
You don't even feel them until, sated and bloated, they drop comatose from where they hung and you feel them slipping down your leg, or your cheek, or your lips or out of your eyes or in your hair and you brush and you brush and you scream and you choke on the cockroaches that cling to your tongue and stifle your cries and your breathing.

I wish this were true
but I've lost my pipe so it's back to chewing for me.
