Pig, Anyone?

I've got a peanut between my teeth.
I know, nuts, right?
It'll sit there for a while, while I deliberate whether to respond
or simply smile.

I've got a peanut between my teeth.
Can't speak around it
can't speak through it
mustn't speak at all.

I've got a peanut between my teeth.
Sitting target standing in a room full of people.
Come up and say 'hellllloo', I dare you.
I can't guarantee my answer.

I've got a peanut between my teeth.
Put there by your finger and thumb.
The finger shushed me when I went to speak
now I'm struggling under the weight of your palm.

I've got an apple between my teeth.
Served up on a platter
silent and shaking and naked and mad
and you sharpen your teeth, and smile.
