Persistent mental illness
and the American dental ideology
prides itself in joining apart
the primacy of denial
in finding new ways
to change. We must
if we must
seek ceasing to
make enemies monstrous
and hug them, each of us
palming a boning knife,
our trust
demonstrated in its use.
Only then
can we fasten teeth
in each other's neck
and truly understand
how the other feels.
