Bubblegum
Aww, on the bottom of an old shoe,
Again!
Stepped on,
Squished
My bones breaking,
Rubber,
Covering my poor,
Aching,
Back.
Next I’m folded and sticky,
Bent in a reeking mouth
Ain’t a good place.
No.
No, no.
Caressed over hard, yellow teeth now.
Chewed again, and again.
Caged, in a dispenser.
Locked up all tight.
Closed.
Only to be chewed in a reeking mouth,
Then break my bones.
After all,
I am
Just….
BUBBLE GUM.
