So, I Trust You Now

For three miserable sadistic years

you prodded my mouth into submission

with metal wires and disgusting rubber gloves

while you shined your too-bright light into my face

smiling your creepy grin the entire way

fixing my abnormalities,

marks of one human

leaving me with those of the thousands of dollars necessary

to buy straight white perfection

and the ability to identify those without such resources

quietly and unconsciously dismissing their power

just by their crooked smiles
