A bridge of vanity for my mouth
Where a dead tooth broke
To fill a gap no one would see
To fill a gap no one would see
When I smile naturally
I cancelled the appointment
Saved a lot of money
Enjoyed the day better
Sitting by the riverside
Even spotted a turtle splashing off a rock
Attracted to its beautiful plop
Awing my toothless river gap
When came a handsome dragonfly
To lilt on the ledge in front of my face
Rest a spell
And other
Sentient being themselves
I am one
In this river tapestry
All I see my senses free
In exchange for my vanity
Smilingly
