“Dentist’s Chair”

an unfortunate turn of

fate, i find myself in

the dentist’s chair, at

the mercy of a man who

may or may not have

my best interests at heart,

the worst case scenario,

how i have dreaded this day

and put it off for so

long and yet here i am

and it’s all rushing in

on me, the reality

of needing a tooth

drilled and filled and

the knowledge of it all

is just about to kill me
