Tooth from Big Room by Addie Alaimo

I chipped my tooth on the picnic table
Killed the nerve and my tooth turned black
This was how I came to meet you
But I somehow don’t remember that
Only everything that came after
The bench in the dark in the park off first
The party in the apartment on Hillhurst
The back of your head in the meadow too early
Aquarium blue coming through the TV
MTV
Once when I was away I woke up sweating
You had looked over at me with so much in your eyes
Your eyes, with a face, I tried to smile
And I felt inside my mouth
A singularity
And your living room started slipping
Into its massive gravity
Cause I blackened every tooth
In every single way
On the off chance I would meet you
Every single day
And know you again
