Sticky dreams
Of blown out bristles
Fanning obtuse
Becoming useless

Worrying of rot
Rotting of worry

Tombstone teeth
Sinking in pink swamp
Still asleep
Buried beneath

Brushing hard
Or hardly brushing
Chewing up the stick
From the rush, the constant sip
Spit out something brown
Sick up but hold it down

Terrifying dreams
Of dysfunctional routines

Took the father
Brushed him clean
Used him up
And not seen again
In fresh sun rise
Spittle wind
Takes the mint leaves with it
To cut copies of them

Serve the breath
Serve the mass
Serve a purpose
And then serve the trash

A hopeful protogeau
In the noble art of withering away
