So many bees!

hmmmmmm thinking abt mountains mouth...
mountain whose primary sense is taste. mountain who puts anything and everything in his mouth. uses it like a third hand. hold things. eats unfamiliar plants to identify them/see if they're poisonous. tastes any spoon held out to him without ever asking what it is. sticks his tongue out a little when he drinks anything. opens packages with his teeth. runs his tongue over long fangs when he's lost in thought.
