cracked tooth

there’s a hole on my tooth

and my tongue always manages to find it

the human body is so good at finding imperfection

like how I always know where to look

for the wrong, the bad, and the ugly

even if all of my other twenty eight teeth are fine

there will always something broken

if there isn’t, it’s time to bite my tongue again.

t.l.

never have I bitten anything with this much damage

than my own flesh

  1. But that’s because you need to know, for survival. Evolution doesn’t care if you’re great, it just looks for the thing that’s going to bring you down. Before you reproduce. Like dying of an abscess.
