The Tom Miller Show

i introduce
the next act

broadway dave and his magical hand-dancing
and saunter off to the toilet

there on the lid of the toilet
is this white thing

i'm thinking it's a crack rock
and i pick it up with my fingers

like it's some delicate china
and nibble on the end to see

if it numbs me or what
and i realize it's a piece of grout

that fell out of the wall
in this laboratory of science

and some of my tooth
chips off as i flush...didn't even pee

and rush to the stage to introduce
the banjo player from some other town

who played it raw and real
his teeth were chipped too.
