Wiggly Teeth


as the chime was passed
purposely, around the circle
sharing our days
our important news

a recurring theme
breathed into the world
shared, excitedly,
a giggly word

Wiggly teeth
in glee, in wonder
so many teeth
so many treasures

the Tooth Fairy had better
stock up on quarters
because Pembroke children
will soon have teeth under pillows
