back like...

the elephant woman

i had my ipod full volume but i couldn't help hearing it,
the noise of my tooth being cracked
once, two, three! went under the drill

i take three pills every four hours
for the next three weeks
one for each of three removed

i used to be wise, even though i was young
now i'm older and no wiser anymore
they didn't leave a single wisdom tooth

when i was a kid they had to remove my 12-year molars. to give way to wisdom teeth. so i was robbed of my childhood to make way for this wise old woman. apparently. what's in a tooth? a lot of enamel!
