Misanthropy

[JaredEggo]

The twist at the end really made me laugh. I'm not sure how saliva rots on one's tongue, though. Also, the last line seems to come out of nowhere, and have nothing to do with the rest of the poem, except for the saliva part. All together though a really fun poem.

In the playground, people spew
laughter as they jump from swings
and spring toward frisbees.

My saliva rots on my tongue,
and the breeze fills my nose
with dandelions.

I have to spit.
