An Ode to Teeth

a loose tooth
a wiggly tooth
a hanging-by-a-string tooth

a look-at-my-tooth tooth
an about-to-fall-out tooth

a tooth-behind-a-tooth tooth
a big tooth next to a baby tooth
a big tooth next to no tooth

a two-front-teeth-less grin

holding up the just-lost tooth 
a bloody, tooth-less smile

a special necklace holding the tooth
worn with tooth-less pride 

dreams of the tooth fairy
a dollar for a tooth

or sometimes - 
a where'd-it-go? tooth
a did-I-swallow-it? tooth

...and a will-the-tooth-fairy-accept-a-note? tooth
