I didn’t see it before
but I look like you
I didn’t hear it before
but our laughs are the same
I used to have long front teeth
I chipped one, insurance covered the repair
I looked in the mirror and out came a tear
both filed down to normal size.
“I thought you would like it, a free extra,” he said. “You’ll get used to it and like it better than before. It’s just a shock now."
But those were my long teeth
the same ones in your mouth
I washed you brush every morning
Spit into the sink and tell me “don’t drink coffee or smoke cigarettes. Keep yours white.”
But you were still perfect.
