The Molar

*

Sweep away that feeble molar
decaying next to a root canal.

Get the broom
and sweep for all you’re worth!

Muck the stalls;
it’s Friday!

Sweep away all indecisions
that debilitate your life.

Sweep away those nasty political centipedes
breeding beneath complacency.

Sweep away the Savoy truffle
of your indiscretionary years.

**

Water damage always puts me
on instant alert.

***

When the volcano erupted,
I remember now,
we were huddled below a fresco,
a vague impression
but a tattoo
of mythical proportion
every bit as symbolic
as our universe
appears to be
today.

****

So, sweep away that feeble molar,
lazing in a hammock
beside a root canal.

Get the broom
and sweep for all you’re worth!
