White tooth

More white
whiter
than any other sugar cube
balancing on the lip

and more off-center
and imperfect
than any other plank
in the golden white fence

White and crooked
Glorious spotlight
Brighter and ruder than any
blue eyes
sculpted nose
sharp jawline

But shot dead
by Nazi wires
and bands
and drills
because conformity of the mouth
is the new paradigm.
