How To Be Toothless

the need ender 

does whatever

soothes her tender

heart 

from her platform

built on pablum in 

clouty abundance 

no amount of 

skin shedding  

changes the fact 

warm poet is 

an anagram for 

tapeworm 

in my red rented eden 

I’m a snake 

I have no house 

I have no feet 

and past my few teeth 

white droplets 

 

from a rubber tree

portend the end of

wild civilization
