Wandering

These thoughts are just baby teeth
They wiggle and they dislodge
But I can't keep track long enough
For the payoff

They rattle 'round in drawers and pill bottles
The bottoms of bags
Worthless lumps of keratin and
Half chewed plans

Baby teeth
Baby teeth
Baby teeth

Oh, they're sprouting like a garden
But wilting just as fast
Rotten little discards of intention
From the past

And just when I think I've got it
Keeping rested and fed
I find the roots have fought it and suddenly
They're falling out of my head

Baby teeth
Baby teeth
Baby teeth

It's been years since a moment of clarity
It's been months since I made something new
There's this staircase that won't stop descending
I catch my footing and fall
Back on through

Back on through
I'm falling back on through

Baby teeth
Baby teeth
Baby teeth
