.teeth.
we have doubts regarding decisions
then friends remind us
as to
the things that are precious, valuable
and are not the things that our present
culture dictates
there is an insidious voice wheedling
created by the current clime, media
&
all sorts
and not of liquorice
that will be nice and tasty
turning my teeth black &
a need to check in the mirror
do not eat so many now
on furlough and mainly buying
necessities
except the perfume candle, bath oil
and pecan
nuts
that people revere gold as you cannot
eat nor breath it
it will not keep you alive
though I know personally
it is useful in wound dressings
and also in teeth
though my fillings
are cheaper stuff
james
apologies for mentioning those
as I know yours are sensitive just
now and bothering you
i have no edges really
you see, mine is not a
real lawn as in the accepted
sense
I live in the country
