EAT

Thank god
The tongue
Doesn’t fear
The teeth

Thank god
They exist
In peace

One to taste-
The other
To chew
The meat

Not
Separate
And free
Like hands
Or feet

They Share
A tight
Space
Behind
The face

The teeth
Fixed
In place -

The
Tongue
Moving
Around
Like
The Head
Of
A Snake

Working
in tandem
To clean
The plate

Thank god
The tongue
Doesn’t fear
The teeth

How else
could we eat
