Missing Teeth

Cinnamon tongue

Wrapped around none

.

Gold plated watch

To tell the time,

Gold plated teeth

And I’ll call him mine

.

Pull out that tooth

I'm the fairy now

Coinstars are busted

God answers no prayers

.

Pawn at the shop

On the corner, no bite

Blood still matted on

The crown as the

Crown loses grip on

My hair, the pin falls and

Drops to the ground

.

Gold plated pin smeared

To show black and

Orange of the rust that

Fights its way through

Gold covers the black

Of the cavity too

.

Cinnamon, sugar, honey, rot

King’s crown melted down

In the pot

I hope it’s worth a lot

.

Red smears over lips

Brown crusts on chin

Still, bleeding baby, missing

The gold, the ornamentation

Cover of ye olde

.

The bodega guy scoffs

Worthless pieces of shit

Need eight, need an eighth

Need a pound, heavy lies the crown

.

I want to be royal

He has a missing tooth

I want to be royal

Anastasia’s missing, I'm the proof

.

I want to be royal

Gilded cage- I’ll take for

The gilded molar

Please, I’ll be bolder

.

I’ll bend, I’ll snap

I’ll take the knife

At my knees

.

In fact, I’ll take it

In my mouth

There’s room because

I have missing teeth
