Accents


Tongues form words with their own unique style

A subtle roll
A grand emphasis
Mouths craft syllables that are hammered by rhythm 
 
Every letter becomes an opportunity to show their heritage 
Let their ancestors live through their modern speech
 
Teeth chisel curves and edges
Into perfectly smooth letters
 
Lips house stories
Infinite combinations of dips and curves
Endlessly drawing others in
 
All because of an accent
