Shock vacuumed up the years
into its tornado,
dropping them back from the sky
piece by piece
decades later ...
I, the gangly 1960s girl
with a space between her two buck teeth,
long unrecognizable
after braces and four teeth pulled for them,
teeth which, like others still surviving,
might also have borne traces of
American Indian heritage,
advised to me as Cherokee.
[Todd Rundgren, below, resembles the younger me -- and I do so love this song.]
