Anticipating a Root Canal Tomorrow

 

Sometimes you don’t need anesthetics to be goofy -

Anticipating a trip to the dentist will do

To confuse today’s plans into nothingness

And scatter all focus from a favorite book

 

People have such dentistry every day

You tell yourself, only your self is not listening

Should I go to bed early, or get up late

What will it be like in The Chair tomorrow?

 

A sigh, a whisper, a desperate wheeze –

Just a little more nitrous oxide, please!
