Every night I get to live
the childhood dream of searching
for lost treasures of eons past.
It's not as glamorous as I thought.
Using the archaeologists brush,
removing debris,
uncovering flossilized specimens.
All in a day's work for the
before-bed paleodontolist.

Looks writing these at midnight to meet the poetry month deadline doesn't always bring out my best work.
Well, it made me laugh. Especially "flossilized." Har har har. (Also, I really liked "Linger." And "Angel." So sweet.)
