Another chipped tooth

 

Thick, twisted trunks of time

Tuneful, timeless tweets

Narrow-hipped cyclist competes

Confidence careless against

Well-wheeled, broader-hipped cars

Greenred hedges clipped

So thick and slick

You want to take a bite

Out; to leave your mark

On the narrow-hipped, clipped idyll

But you don’t. You can’t afford

Another chipped tooth
