A magpie delivers
A button to your window
Every other day
Peeling potatoes
Slicing your fingers
Watch them fall away

You lose a tooth
And then another grows
You're genetically predisposed
Just like a shark I suppose

Did you get tired
Of people asking you show
The pointy rows upon rows
Without even saying hello?

A button delivers
A message, your scissors
Trim the bad news away
Smiling for mirrors
No longer for cameras
History lurks in each day

You lose a tooth
And then another grows
You're genetically predisposed
Just like a shark I suppose

A postie delivers
Your laundry list of
Red letters to pay
Attention, distraction
Precision inaction
Potato salad days

You lose a tooth
And then another grows
You're genetically predisposed
Just like a shark I suppose

Your buttoned window sill
Is greeting the snow
And asking it does it know
What are the depths it will grow?
