I don’t know if you have ever imagined Your own teeth Rotting and brown like that man on the bus I know I have Every now and then my molars fall out Leaving the void I imagine That when my teeth are gone I will finally be able to whistle That I will get dentures (or maybe not) That people don’t expect too much of the toothless That people won’t expect too much of me I suppose I never asked you what exactly it was you that imagined on the grey-sky-days When my face became less interesting than the rain outside I guess it was a sign that we disagreed You know I imagine That The Toothless have a lot less difficulty falling in love Except of course for dentists

She who fell in love with a toothless man
in that moment we we were two bodies two bodies lost in space and I was a mind floating in a body that kissed a face and in that moment we we were two bodies two bodies lost in space and I believed that we were two misunderstood that for a moment understood and in that moment we we were two bodies two clichés about to start a thousand more and in that moment more so than ever nothing seemed to matter because we were in that moment just understanding each other and the understanding was not a love thing, a physical attraction thing but a two lost bodies two hurt bodies two confused bodies trying to fix it all kind of thing

fix it all
“Working your way to greater things” He smiled, as he walked his dog Down the river walk Passing a waitress sweeping up cigarette butts She smiled back “That’s it” He didn’t know how true he was. She worked summers To pay for the acting classes and someday she wished to tell of the day that man walked by and she replied “That’s it”.

'That's It'
I could write your name In the fog on the glass Acquire a taste for those who pass. A note on the margin Of a torn out page That slowly yellows with time and age. But nothing will change. The tears melt into smiles Blue eyed rejoice, it's happiness That crumbles as smiles drip from perfectness. The trace of a figure Upon a silver plane We turn, return, remain the same. And nothing ever seems to change.
