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
