Welcome to synesthesia

Imagine a world in which you see numbers and letters as colored
even though they're printed in black,in which music or voices trigger a swirl of moving, colored shapes,in which words and names fill your mouth with unusual flavors.Jail tastes like cold, hard bacon while Derek tastes like earwax.Welcome to synesthesia,the neurological phenomenon that couples two or more senses in 4% of the population.A synesthete might not only hear my voice,but also see it,taste it,or feel it as a physical touch.
