466. STARLETTO MONGRETTO

STARLETTO MONGRETTO
I salivated at your thought; took
the wrong turn right, left after going.
It was a canine, not an incisor, the dentist
said, laughing. He suddenly remembered me
from once before, swarming him with
leftover dollar bills and asking for more.
'The whole thing never left my mind' - he
said that grinning in a winning way.
I shuddered to think of his age and
his manners - all this tools and implements,
and no reason not to. Outside, a dusky
starlight was entering my mind.
Inside, I was looking for
whatever I could
find.
