noblewoman, fitting teeth of gold

disturbed sleep, disturbing dreams, the death of young children involved, really strange. All taking place on a beach
Half past three in the morning, go to the bathroom, brush the teeth again, back to bed.
At five the alarm.
Turn the beeping little monster off.
All done.

There is a dentist's appointment today, nothing wild, just a check-up. Take it easy.
Go to the bathroom, take the mornings shower.
and now- this is new.
Go back to bed.

And sleep on until seven.
luxury.

The son is off to school, he is surprised to see his father during a weekday morning.
Something new.

And get dressed, drink coffee, make sure to clean the teeth properly.

And then off to the dentist

Through the damp streets.
An old woman ahead in her coat, off to do her shopping. A crooked gait, dragging herself along.

And then cross the street, up to the waiting dentist in her practice.
A noblewoman, fitting teeth of gold.
