TEETH MARKS

The bite of mitochondria,
hurt repeated past and present,
this multitude of tiny gluttons
in tight formation on parade,
hardly pleasant,
for days and days
and days,
until you and I in short are mute,
dissuaded from that great stone voice
which called out our twisting fates--
eventually sated our emerald choice
with craving for store bought
polished agates,
and now all but jaded this
our once and late good taste.
