Pulling Teeth (12/30)
Because of years
of mistaking candy for
one of the four food groups,
I have teeth that need to be
pulled.
I'm reluctant to see
a dentist because I've
become accustomed to
the pain;
sharp stabbing lighting
that strikes at any given
moment, electrifying
nerve endings.
Reading about dental
horror stories from the
times when there were
no dentist is how I try
and motivate myself to seek
medical attention,
they don't work;
the pain passes
like a storm in the
summer.
