Tooth Decay
I apologize for the lack of poetry
But my heart has been caught by,
Between my teeth waiting--waiting to
Chomp down on this election cycle.
I can feel the pounding resonating
Through my molars--pounding sensitive gums.
I haven't been to the dentist
Since this whole thing started,
Six month check up supposed to be in May.
How many cavities have gone unfilled?
And do these tooth tolls matter to the electorate?
How about the other ones?
I guess we'll find out soon.
