A jar of teeth, now that’s nothing to smile at. Dentin is brown, you know? The old medical school used to be by the zoo. Now they’re beige apartments, and certainly someone lives in the former morgue. I bet their fridge stays cold. When I was twelve or so, I went to science camp. We’re imaging flesh flies. The room décor distracts. Jarred cadaver molars in sunlight gleam dull green, soaked in formaldehyde.
