a world of many children

A World of many children  


I read about people going to the dentist 
getting shiny white teeth like Joe Biden
In Portugal, the white teeth craze is relaxed 
The thought of an actress with perfect teeth
have to have them extracted because they
They were yellow and didn't have the odontology 
of today
I remove my teeth at night and soak them in water
That is healthy, it surprises me that artificial teeth
but need to be healthy looking
Martha, the whore in our street, boasted when
She was old, no man had ever entered hers 
to our fantasizing about her yellow teeth
Can we say the childlessness in our street
was caused by boys learned about sex 
That was not conducive to pregnancy
