until i left
by Gabriel RicardShe handed me this bag
of teeth,
and there had to be a dozen people
worth of retail work,
drug problems, and 45-minute romantic
missteps in tall and haunted Vegas-pretty surroundings.
Some of those teeth
still looked fairly healthy.
And then she moved down
to the other side of the bus.
I think,
at that point,
she just wanted to be done
with the whole thing.
I had to respect that,
so I held on to them
for a couple of hours.
