An Ode to Indentured Servants<br />

Steve Nordeen, Ph.D.<br />

<strong>The</strong>n comes a time <strong>of</strong> readjustment<br />

when the teeth become accustomed<br />

to new angles<br />

the old zoning codes abandoned<br />

wedging against another<br />

like tenement apartments<br />

creating new alleys<br />

to entrap stray spinach<br />

the latest in dentifrice art<br />

abstract, oblique, strictly avant-garde<br />

a dentist’s wet dream<br />

gives character<br />

uniqueness <strong>of</strong> smile<br />

pro<strong>of</strong> <strong>of</strong> stripes earned on the play fi eld<br />

bemoaned only in old age<br />

when, over pipe & checkers,<br />

the fat must be chewed<br />

at the side<br />

and then<br />

very carefully •<br />
