wheels to my bicycle
would you call it a semi,
for it would surely be
an eighteen-wheeler?
Or would I need a trailer
would the trailer need
to be tall enough
to get stuck
under low bridges?
If I had a bridge
in my mouth
could you cross
the river of my tongue?
and could I
still use a toothpick
And does a dentist
consider it roadwork
when he takes
a tiny pickax
to my tooth?
and if I added
sixteen teeth
to my bicycle
would it be
a bite-cycle?
