Prophylaxis
as an advance guard
the tooth without the lips is the real leader.
it cannot speak for itself
no one, nothing speaks for it
since the tongue is numb & sick
and the lips find finds it a shame
in fact it tries to conceal it
and so you know what happens next
the tooth creates the pain
and all it does is
this gritting.

Tooth And Nail
I'm tired of all this cheap talk
When you walk next to me
They say I ain't good enough for you
Why don't they come and tell me
When they see us out in the night
They can't wait to tear us apart
Now I hear them saying lovin' you ain't right
Well they'd better be ready 'cause honey I'll be there
I will fight tooth and nail
Count on me, I will not fail you
I will fight tooth and nail
They say I'm always breaking promises
And I'm just fooling with you
Then they try and come between the two of us
Man, that's a bad thing to do
I can say I had more than enough
But I ain't gonna take it too hard
I said hey, they want to play rough
Well let's see who backs down when the trouble starts
I will fight tooth and nail
Count on me, I will not fail you
I will fight tooth and nail
Come on try me, I won't give in
They take advantage, but they can't win
I'll be your man, baby, wait and see
Ain't nobody, nobody take your love from me
I will fight tooth and nail
I was wrong, I will not fail you
I will fight tooth and nail
I'll be your man, baby, wait and see
Ain't nobody, nowhere take your love away from me
I will fight tooth and nail
Count on me, I will not fail you
I will fight tooth and nail
Right now, tooth and nail
I am waiting for the fight
Tooth and nail
Right now, c'mon, tooth and nail
Right now, tooth and nail
C'mon, tooth and nail
Ah fight
Tooth and nail
Right now, c'mon, tooth and nail
C'mon, right now, tooth and nail

Eye For An Eye
You turned me over now I'll turn you around
Mistakes are made, foul play
You have givin' is what I found
You'll be my queen for a day
I'm no matinee idol
You put it in the wrong way
If I was Valentino
It'd been the same
It's like an eye for an eye
Give me some proof
Speak up now or it's a tooth for a tooth
An eye for an eye
Give me some proof
Time is runnin' out on you
Watcha gonna do?
No need to smile while I make my advance
But please don't turn away
Your reputation got me into your pants
But you weren't that great
Well now you turned the tables
It's the other way
I've got my revenge baby
And you want to stay
It's like an eye for an eye
Give me some proof
Speak up now or it's a tooth for a tooth
An eye for an eye
Give me some proof
Time is runnin' out on you
Watcha gonna do?
It's like an eye for an eye
Give me some proof
Speak up now or it's a tooth for a tooth
An eye for an eye
Give me some proof
Time is runnin' out on you
Watcha gonna do?
Watcha gonna do?
Watcha gonna do?
Watcha gonna do?
Watcha gonna do?
Watcha gonna do?
Watcha gonna do?

Broken Face
I got a broken face
I got a
I got a broken face
Uh-hu, uh-hu, uh-hu, uh-hu, ooo
I got a broken face (3x)
There was this boy who had two
Children with his sisters
They were his daughters
They were his favourite lovers
I got no lips, I got no tongue
Whatever I say is only spit
I got no lips, I got no tongue
I got a broken face, uh-hu, uh-hu
I got a broken face
There was this man who snapped his poke
In little pieces
And then they drilled holes
And then they put em back in there
I got no lips, I got no tongue
Whatever I say is only spit
I got no lips, I got no tongue
I got a broken face
Uh-hu, uh-hu, uh-hu, uh-hu, ooo
I got a broken face
The little thing who does my laundry
Speaks no english
But if you saw her
Youd say isnt she lovely
I got no lips, I got no tongue
Whatever I say is only spit
I got no lips, I got no tongue

Meditation Poem - A tooth
this body is a
tooth of existence
one among 32
but when it pains
it feels all 32
32 becomes one
this mind holds
the realm of existence
the body is
a pain of a tooth
numbing all others
you pull out the tooth
the other 31 look at you
and - smile

Grab your partner, bring it home n dosey, dosey

In An East End Hovel
To a Workman, a would-be Suicide
MAN of despair and death,
Bought and slaved in the gangs,
Starved and stripped and left
To the pitiful, pitiless night,
Away with your selfish thoughts!
Touch not your ignorant life!
Are there no masters of slaves,
Jeering, cynical, strong —
Are there no brigands (say),
With the words of Christ on their lips,
And the daggers under their cloaks —
Is there not one of these
That you can steal on and kill?
O as the Swiss mountaineer
Dogged on the perilous heights
His disciplined conqueror foes:
Caught up one in his arms
And, laughing exultantly,
Plunged with him to the abyss:
So let it be with you!
An eye for an eye, and a tooth
For a tooth, and a life for a life!
Tell it, this hateful strong
Contemptuous, hypocrite World,
Tell it that, if we must live
As dogs and as worse than dogs,
At least we can die like men!
Tell it there is a woe
Not for the conquered alone!
An eye for an eye, and a tooth
For a tooth, and a life for a life.

Florence
'Fracture for fracture, eye for eye, and tooth for tooth! '
But as a man ingures another,
So shall he be ingured in the same way too.
Florence, you shall not make gods (elohim, teraphim) for yourself;
And you shall not eat anything with the blood in it.
Florence, things may fall apart at times;
But do wake up in life again and move on,
For anyone who commits adultery with a man's wife is not wise.
'Fracture for fracture, eye for eye, and tooth for tooth! '
But like the first day of the secone moon,
Try to keep on along the right paths of life to gain your future.

Your Hands As Truths..
when you say you like me
i know
you meant the opposite
and then i say that it is over
which you
of course fully understand
that i still need
another beginning
in this game, i opted for
consistency
a tooth for a tooth
an eye for an eye
look at us, look at us
i need to find your hands and hold them
as truths.

Eugenia Todd
Have any of you, passers-by,
Had an old tooth that was an unceasing discomfort?
Or a pain in the side that never quite left you?
Or a malignant growth that grew with time?
So that even in profoundest slumber
There was shadowy consciousness or the phantom of thought
Of the tooth, the side, the growth?
Even so thwarted love, or defeated ambition,
Or a blunder in life which mixed your life
Hopelessly to the end,
Will like a tooth, or a pain in the side,
Float through your dreams in the final sleep
Till perfect freedom from the earth-sphere
Comes to you as one who wakes
Healed and glad in the morning!

Hit With Shame
hit with shame like losing my game
swollen lips are singing my name
tears are hot and drumming like rain
i’ve had it enough
had it enough
hit with shame like writhing with pain
every word’s proclaiming my blame
every effort turns out lame
i’m sick of that stuff
sick of that stuff
ask for nothing else you say
it’s your fault
you have to pay
for every day
for every day
for every bloody single day
hit with shame and hit with disdain
every move’s increasing the strain
every flower adds to the chain
i cannot go on
cannot go on
hit with shame like hit on my brain
feel as if I’m watching a play
think I’m gonna give it away
i’m sick of it all
sick of it all
this is what you get you say
it’s your guilt
and don’t complain
you must pay
you must pay
for every bloody single day

A Tightwad Tooth Fairy Called Griselda
There was a tightwad tooth fairy
and Griselda was her name.
When you had your teeth out
and put them under the pillow
she would come along and pinch them
and leave nothing in return.
You would wake up in the morning;
look under your pillow for some dosh,
but under your pillow was empty there.
As you looked at the empty space,
you knew straight away
that Griselda the tightwad tooth fairy
had been about.
Complaints followed complaints
to fairly land
about this tightwad tooth fairy.
The fairy council
had never heard of such a thing.
A tightwad tooth fairy.
Oh, this could never be.
They had never had a case
of a tooth fairy leaving no money.
Something had to be done.
Griselda was called
and stood before the council
and asked to explain why
she was a tightwad
and left no money behind.
The miserly tooth fairy
thought for a moment.
She was saving some money
to buy herself a fairy yacht,
only it took a lot of teeth
to purchase one of them.
For her crimes,
she was sent to work with Santa’s Elves.
She sits in the toy factory
banging happily away,
because if the truth were known
she didn’t want to be a tooth fairy anyway.

The Devil's Candy
Smoky old bars, bright neon lights
Good ole boys and girls of the night
An ice cold beer and a good shot of brandy
I've always had a sweet tooth
For the devil's candy
And I've fought it all my life
And the battle's now a war
But I'll get up tomorrow
And I'll fight it all once more
I want to do what's right
But I'll never understand me
I've always had a sweet tooth
For the devil's candy
Well I've played the cards, and I've rolled the dice
Well I gave up heaven for a fool's paradise
I once lost an angel when a bad girl was handy
I've always had a sweet tooth
For the devil's candy
And I've fought it all my life
And the battle's now a war
But I'll get up tomorrow
And I'll fight it all once more
I want to do what's right
But I'll never understand me
I've always had a sweet tooth
For the devil's candy
I want to do what's right
But I'll never understand me
I've always had a sweet tooth
For the devil's candy
Yes I've always had a sweet tooth
For the devil's candy

ONE THING...by Talile Ali
I THOUGHT I WAS IN LOVE
WITH A FRIEND OF MINE
SHE HAS SO MANY QUALITIES
THAT I THOUGHT WERE FINE
BUT THERE WAS JUST THIS ONE THING
I COULD NOT COMPREHEND
HOW SHE'D FALL IN THE ARMS
OF THE STUPIDEST OF MEN
I KID YOU NOT, BUDDY
SOME REAL DUNCES, THAT'S A FACT
TREAT HER JUST LIKE REAL DIRT
SHE KEEP'S COMING BACK
I HAD THOUGHT 'SHE AIN'T NO DUMMY'
THAT'S WHY THIS STUFF'S INSANE
SHE EVEN FEEDS THE SNAG-A-TOOTH HALF-WIT
AND POT AND BOOZE FOR HIS WANG
DOESN'T REALLY MATTER
SO LONG AS THEY ARE DUMB?
WITNESSING THIS NIGHTMARE
ONLY HAS ME GOING NUMB
I PRAY ONE THAT ONE DAY
SHE SEE'S HOW SHE'S BEEN WELL PLAYED
HOW SHE'S BEEN SO UNDONE
IN THIS QUEST FOR BEING LAID
PLEASE,
LITTLE BROTHERS,
I CAN SEE,
THAT MY POINT HAS BEEN MADE

Sorry's Face
i look closely at
what Sorry could be
its face:
eyeballs towards
the sky
chin stooping to
the earth
ears thinning
lips
sealed
every tooth
hidden
arms on the side
as hands
conceal the fingers
in the warm
pockets of the
pants
the feet kneeling
begging toes
and then the heart
stops beating like the drums
of the wild hunters
in Africa
then their is
this quiet
sunset in a transition
darkness is sprinkled with
bright stars
