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
