Lions of Gingivitis

It was up in the receding hairline stratosphere
that I found it -
a silver pocket watch
impersonating the moon
with second hand
precision.
And there were clowns, and jilted renegades,
and the lions of gingivitis
too,
but none of them would fit
in my pocket
so I settled for the
silver pocket watch,
pretending to love
and cherish
it
(like a good
woman)
until someone
or something better

came
along.
