Literature Text

I'm gnashing my teeth.
and I have a habit of clenching my jaw in my sleep.

You once were a polished dentist,
supplied me with a sponge to bite down on
and I knew it kept my teeth from cracking and crumbling
- old china -

I've grown acutely aware
that I'm gnawing on a sponge.

when I'd really like to be eating away at life.
I don't want a band-aid.
