Wisdom

...and I'm glad that you're gone,

got that feeling so strong,

yes I'm glad that you're gone,

but I wish that you'd come home...

--Tom Waits

If witchdoctors interpret losing-of-teeth dreams as signs of prosperity, perhaps actually getting teeth pulled is a sign of good things to come. Out with the rotten, in with the void of the unknown, freedom perhaps. I'm glad that my wisdom is gone, because it caused nothing but pain. Now I'm just like a woman, with a grin like a little girl.
