ENAMEL SONG

At the end of your life
when you die with a clot
somewhere on a motorway
driving at 90 
with a cig between your lips 
scowling
after the inferno has burned itself out
and your 18 wheel rig buckled and naked
reveals a nest of umbrella skeletons
fresh from the factory
you knew it would be your last delivery
It is someone’s job to make an impression
Once they prize apart your cinder jaws
Do you think if you had known 
That when they say dental record
They Mean Record 
   every second of your life a contour 
You would have bothered doing anything

differently
