In this way the corruption of the body is equated with corruption of the body politic. We open and close our mouths all day long calmly exposing our most vulnerable interiors. For the average person the interior of one’s mouth remains oddly neutral. Race, religion and gender are all unknowable. In our mouths we are all the same.”
