Oral Fixation: Saturday poetry slam
Oral Fixation
I just
ate
a ruby red grapefruit,
Chased by
a fun-sized box of
GRAPE NERDS.
Then, the sugary goodness I just ground between my teeth
was w a s h e d away
with green tea.
Colorful?
Oh, yes.
But I can't help but think, as I tongue the extra bits of candy and pulp out of my acid-washed mouth:
Are cavities not imminent?-
- A Poem by Leslie Goldman
Composed: Saturday afternoon, while procrastinating a deadline
