Len Gurts at the Dentist, Perhaps

I am waiting. I do not want to.
If they remove the root from me it dies.

I feel fated by something I never would have chosen
(but I did! I am a piece of shit)

and it may be a curse or a tooth, as I still
hide deep deep truth, man; but

that all doesn’t matter, as I was called for
by something ontically beyond me, so I wait

acceptingly, at a push: send hot nurses.


The line breaks and hanging line indents may be incorrectly formatted because I cannot be bothered to fiddle with the HTML. View the correct formatting in the full collection To a Blind Horse (and subscribe at the top of the page).
