To Braces
February 14, 2017
It’s really nice
to have a device
that gives you a silver and shiny grin,
but who could resist
a girl with a lisp
that looks like a man made of tin.
When in the careless bliss
of happiness
I laugh and beam so free,
but notice the wire
and quickly tire
of this metal strapped onto me.
