i ripped my teeth out
like the weeds they were

and sold them to the ivory hunters

then,
i went and bought you lunch

you said i was ugly without my teeth
but
you wouldn't let me leave

you needed your lunch,
you see

you went to work,
ate my lunch,

and came back smelling like perfume

perfume
you said you were trying on
to see which one i would like

maybe that lipstick on your collar ,
was also going to be for me?

' i'm sorry '

' i'm your wife '

' she had better teeth '

( give until you're dust/
take until you're dead )
