Day Fourty and Two

I realize human existence is a complicated thing
you put a lot of work into us
I can't help but wonder...

Why wait on the teeth?
Plenty of mammals born with them
they seem to do just fine.

Then we could skip over
the cranky, feverish
sleeplessness nights

Piercing and throbbing
through tender pink gums

It seems unfair,
I'm just saying.
