Keridwen waxes poetic... sort of.
Today
while sitting, vulnerable
leaned far back
with a big shining light
in my face
Trying
not to flinch while
a metal scraper picks
at my helpless gums, and my
hygienist hums tunelessly to
the golden oldies on the radio
I will
smile happily
knowing that for lunch
I purposely consumed
A Large chili-dog
with extra onions
chili beans
and cheese.
