that the youth
do not know
that they're all going to die
without their teeth
in the end. No,
the real designation
of those who are
giving,
and tender,
and finespun, and
slight enough
to be young
is: they don't understand that,
until the end comes,
they'll be
more than willing
to pull out each molar,
one
after the other—just
to keep living.
