I found a tooth under my pillow
but my mouth has no spaces, it is full
of slightly-crooked off-white rocks
lined up like a child's beach creation.
Chomping my own I held this tiny object
and inspected it slowly; far smoother,
far purer than mine, it seemed innocent enough
but for its sudden intrusion into my bed.

I fancy a fairy left it there.
Some left-brained sparkling creature
who has been made redundant, made bold
and mischievous by his new freedom.
Perhaps he felt the urge to play with people
on his last day of work, before joining
the dull and un-sparkling queues
of hasbeens at the fairy career centre.
Brain fart.
