i have been having the same nightmare
for years. the same theme, same feelings,
same disturbing discomfort in my mouth.

teeth. teeth. teeth.
it's always the teeth:
teeth falling out,
teeth covered in taffy,
teeth cracking,
teeth shattering,
single teeth falling out,
entire skull of teeth falling out.

O teeth, you cause me much anxiety.
