Decay Like A Tooth Poem by Dorsey Baker
Decay Like A Tooth
Rating: ★5.0
In youth
so very thin
In old age
so big and fat
your skin
once so round
now so very flat
You'll catch the bus
to the whispered word
it flies across
dangerous seas
the wayward bird
changing clothes
take off old
put on new
like a withered
and dying rose
despise
decay
but decaying
comes anyway!
