Dentist visit
I munch the last piece of bread
The bathroom urge calleth me
To perform the morning brush task
As image in the mirror tremors
In anticipation of that crocodile smile
The date and time approacheth
For me to appear before the dentist
The office looms large as I approach
Illegibly I print my name at receptionist’s desk
As if to negate the inevitable
My word the time has come
Eyelashes flutter nervously
I saunter down the office aisle
To the chair I dread
Awaiting the nitrous oxide drugged catnap
Fear and conciousness fade
Aroused from the stupor
It seems the visit was as planned
Wobbling gladly to the door
Until the 6 months comes again

The Appointment
10 am comethI munch the last piece of bread
The bathroom urge calleth me
To perform the morning brush task
As image in the mirror tremors
In anticipation of that crocodile smile
The date and time approacheth
For me to appear before the dentist
The office looms large as I approach
Illegibly I print my name at receptionist’s desk
As if to negate the inevitable
My word the time has come
Eyelashes flutter nervously
I saunter down the office aisle
To the chair I dread
Awaiting the nitrous oxide drugged catnap
Fear and conciousness fade
Aroused from the stupor
It seems the visit was as planned
Wobbling gladly to the door
Until the 6 months comes again
