Meanwhile in America
Carefully folded smiles
Creased with such precision
Packed away
In the suitcase under the bed
Pretense of happiness
All the while her teeth rot
Behind her lips
The marrow or her bones
Are liquid lies to help her
Stand erect
She remembers them
As the illusion they are
In hopes to wear them
Before it's too late
