One of my teeth
Fell out.
Yesterday,
A gold one
Full of rot
I thought
Loss of ones teeth
Was simply
An example
Of the God of Aging’s
Determination
To degrade us
Into our graves.
When we were young
Our minds flew about us
As though untethered
From our bodies.
Now, in our dotage
Our minds observe
Our bodies
Escape us
Piece by piece
Neuron by neuron.

as unique as your dentistry .. and that's the tooth and nothing but the tooth ............................................... 🙂
Thank you Nevelle. While the loss of a tooth can be both poetic and humorous, the subsequent visits to the dentist are nothing to sing about.
Sorry, Trenz - I encounter this problem from time to time and complain on the same page but no one to date has provided a satisfactory explanation. Or any explanation at all.
Your piece appears to be in, quite possibly Greek - not sure, but it is certainly not in English,. Yet others on the evidence of this page can read it..
So - did you write this as it appears? Is this the fault of my PC, do you believe? Am I completely missing something here?
I have no idea how it appears on your computer, but it was not written in Greek, perhaps not English either. Anyway, here is a copy. Let's see what language it comes up as:

Just here It came through perfectly. Trenz. Well expressed
I cannot just observe, I have to attempt intervention. But it is a high frequency maintenance regimen.
So the mystery remains. Here is your first stanza:.......
..........no, when I copy and pasted, guess what? it turned up in English...this is both irritating and useful..I now have a partial solution in future, but no explanation from I don't know where..
Thanks for your trouble..
