Canines and Incisors, by Mark Tulin
26/7/2019

While waiting in the kitchen for the supervisor, a resident wearing a white helmet abruptly approached me and stared at my arm like an appetizing piece of meat. After a few seconds, he left and returned a second time. This time, he touched my forearm admiringly.

The third time, the man wearing the white helmet clamped down on my arm with his canines and incisors, refusing to let go. Thinking quickly, I held his nose and, within seconds, he released his steadfast jaws from my forearm, leaving a red, inflamed mark on my arm in the form of a smile.

I am an author, poet, humorist, and short story writer living in Long Beach, California. I write about various topics, from my early childhood in Philadelphia to my years as a family therapist and finally to my soul-searching in California. These are poetic narratives that may have humorous or serious content or both. Either way, I hope my poetry and stories resonate with you. My books include Magical Yogis, Uncommon Love Stories, Awkward Grace, Junkyard Souls, and Rain on Cabrillo.
