Poem: Lightness of Death

This poem explores lighthearted themes of death through analogies of eating unhealthy foods that rot teeth and hurt blood veins, smelling unpleasant odors, and sleeping in ear wax. Imagery compares coco-pops to rotting teeth, an apricot tart to smelling like dog farts, and sleeping in ear wax. Overall it presents death and bodily functions in a playful, whimsical tone through food and sensory images.
