I thought if I kept my mouth closed for long enough, maybe a pearl would start to grow...like a mollusk. But Wikipedia says naturally occurring pearls are very rare, and they're only defense mechanisms against parasites that get in there.
Maybe that's why my mouth is pearl-less, cuz All my favorite singers are depressed.
And maybe every song is only calcium that they use to calm all the bad things inside of them. And so when they open their mouths, pearls always just roll out, White and shiny. And there's none inside me.
Then I feel bad. I should be content with what I have. I should be content with what I am, which on most days is happy as a clam.
