every six months

you tell the dental hygienist
to skip the x rays this visit.
skip the cancer screening
with the blue light, skip
the thorough search for lumps
and lesions. shorten
the lecture on flossing,
on grinding, on snoring
and brushing. give me the express
cleaning, please. just polish
them up. I only brought
three hundred dollars
with me this time, so make
it snappy.
