An Ode to My Crooked Teeth:
To the pearly stones knocking about
Dancing around each other
Bumping shoulders
Standing sideways
And a little lopsided
To the relentless little bones
That grind senselessly with nerves
That rarely ever chew
Without aches and pains
Braces tried to restrain you once
To make you straight
To match images perfected by society
But my stubborn smile
Won’t change for anyone
