tear my teeth out, connect them like pearls. something for her to hold. there’s no her. there’s no hold. my teeth like pearls glued together on a string, drapes over her neck she says they’re beautiful. she says where’d you get them? i say i made them. she says what? i say  in the basement they were taken from me. She says . i say  here. i say nothing my teeth are they pretty enough? i say or try i say strung up like pearls
