She scrubs, and spits, opens wide for the next tool but now finds a green face staring back, the eyes she used to have crusted over with skin and now it's just this one eye (the third one) fixing on somewhere else (beyond propaganda) possibly her idea of the universe (which does exist somewhere) expanding at the exact moment she saws the floss through the two back molars - one unseen egg drifts into darkness. |
