Blink Twice

  Loose teeth and wispy hair
    Shadows of memory’s cupboard bare                                                                                                                                                                                            
  Mouth open, teeth gone missing
    Malodorous breath rules out kissing

  Didn’t I see him just three months ago
    dancing a jig, cavorting to and fro
  Blink twice, turn around ~
    Too quickly our vitals shut down

Too true to be funny, but a good poem, my friend. BB
