Surely In My Next Lifetime
I smell the popcorn hours after it has been popped
My mouth savors the smell, but not the taste.
Popcorn is for people who have good gums
I used to chew ice which I loved to do
It caused fissures and cracks in my teeth
Could I stop? Apparently not.
I look at a juicy steak
Wondering if I will ever have the teeth I need
To do one justice again
Surely in my next life time
I will be much more careful with my teeth
And my gums. Right?
