if toothpaste erased all

as Toothpaste hits my gums

wouldn't it be nice to clean off the bacteria

of the rot of pain and frustration of haters

and words that spread like wildfire

as if it's the gospel truth?

the stroke of a Brush across the negativity

would polish off the mind and bring a sense

of freshness and open up a new slate

better than going back in time

but instead washing out germs of the soul

that live to eat away at the fabric

of the being

how would the surroundings

then inhale if it could all be

brushed away?

imagine having that kind of

power and also imagine having

that tarter and Plaque

forever flossed with the other

trash
