They called you a dog
Its teeth were yellow
Rotting, cigarette and
Stink breath,
Gnarled skin around
The mouth
Laugh lines never existing
Only frowns fault.
Tar and wax and
Gunk, how else can
I say it-
- Your mouth, a treasure.
Riotous screaming
And bleak moans
Of let me go
I did, I held loosely
Canines with tartar
Can you imagine
The dentist?
He cried when he picked at
It rotted black now,
Gone beyond just
The absence of a
Smile forelorn,
Two surgeries and
Gauze and chunks
of gums, you
Wired yourself shut.
They yelled at you.
In the office, in
The school yard
Laughing, pointing
With a hand over your
Mouth you didn't
Bother to grin
Anymore, they did you in.
No operations could
Save that precious,
The innocence, you being
A victim.
