corn on the cob

you hate the feeling of a kernel of corn
lodged between your back teeth; irritating your gums

so why do you brush your teeth with the cob

you're not getting any cleaner, baby

you're grinding yourself into the grain
and scumming your gums to the bleeding pains

and baby, you're not getting any cleaner

you're buttery and filthy
you're hot and dripping with sticky
you're tinted and stained and yellow and grey

clean out your brush
claw out the kernels
