Franks Psychiatry 2 #23: famous flying choppers

Frank Prem

 

it is after dinner
six o’clock
in the oldies ward

 

my colleague
carries a tray
holding fifteen silver cups

 

each cup contains
a set
of pearly whites

 

uppers
lowers
uppers and lowers

 

students
collect the teeth
after each meal
and scrub them
at the laundry sink

 

but the tray
when placed too close
to the edge
is unstable

 

and
not for the last time
in student history
the choppers fly

    The sound of gnashing teeth as they hit the floor.

    ...and as all choppers do, eventually they land...
    safely I hope!
    Enjoyed this one, Frank!
    Your words do conjure up some amazing pics in my head!😉
