Braces

Braces
Everything seems bigger in your mouth
Grapes, seeds, a piece of chewing gum
That hole on your back molar that is probably a cavity
Forget anti-sinus medication
It might as well be a whale
Outside the mouth there lies
A round squishy purple ball resting on my palm
Or pink, ribbed and sticky stuck to a desk
A disturbance in sound waves so small
It might as well stayed on the tip of my tongue
