etymology
finds me fascinated
words inside
of themselves
might be mundane
however,
a detailed
practice study
should be encouraged
a shiny word read
appears to be robust
and illuminated
on the surface
nevertheless,
houses roots
which flourish
below the terra firma
often taken for granted
and ridiculously
abused
how about i utilize teeth
as a prime example
when we smile
all anyone sees
is something lustrous
hopefully in the absence
of decrepit decay
upon further exploration
the physiology between fangs
and their correlation
to the rest of the body
or visage
one is not aware
of the inner pathology
although the outside
is visibly stable
i’m not unfamiliar with dental pain
during my time in montreal
i’d visited a dentist
who literally gold capped
A
BLOODY
BABY
TOOTH
EXCRUCIATING
AGONY
ENSUED
fast forward a couple of years
i annihilated that gold cap
and the baby tooth
right along with it
preferred extraction tool
a copper penny
moral of the story
do not allow others
to cheat you into
forced unnecessary
procedures
