After Reading a Whole Book of Poems by Fred Tarr

It's like chewing
a long fine juicy
with the sweet
squirting joyous bursts
as the tiny bubbles break.
I work it with my chewing teeth,
the harmless, quiet teeth.

This is good for my health.
I can feel my body
easing, my breathing coming clear
through an empty nose
to make sighs that
stretch to the twistiest
narrowest passages of memory.
