Rotten Teeth

Rotten Teeth

A Poem by William Coad

Clicking and the ticking

always with the ticking

people and they're clicking

just like rotten teeth.


Someone ought to pull out

I'm not sure how now,

somewhat ought to pull out

just like rotting teeth.


Sounds like the corners

and edges of the membrane

are working from their quarters

slowly going insane,


but it doesn't feel like salt

rubbed against my skin.

It slowly feels like silk

just again and again.


Ticking and ticking

and clicking and clicking

pulling and fueling

the edge of my mind.


Biting and fighting

ripping and winning

some ought to pull it

just like rotten teeth.
