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.
