Variety Store.

The variety,
like a store.
To me
it’s a bore
they don’t even sell
paper airplanes
to assemble.

The pulling
of teeth
We’re almost
through
Come upon juju fruits and
other candies. So
"Just don’t chew"

The blood
gushing from my mouth
"To go to the dentist again"
At least
I can sing, and the blood
makes a pattern
upon the boxes of
candies, red.
