Tooth (ef)

Your universal truths
are long in the tooth
well-worn, not fit for chewing
on tougher meats
it's satisfaction worn down
to softer dough & doughnuts
and me
just a tip of the iceberg to show
fathom my form
classic, pure chilly magic
flowing cool over the desert
casting soft & ankle deep
a fog
for effect - you could file
your dental work back into shape
or spend thousands on a
replacement pair
but you'll never outswim this shark
with rows & rows of waiting teeth
to spare.
