the denist

in traffic
you see the side
of a bus beside
you.
there is a large
colorful ad
for a dentist.
strangely enough
it's your dentist.
a man is in
the chair with
his mouth
wide open, his
white teeth
are the size of your
head, a woman
wearing a white
smock is smiling
while she holds a
gleaming syringe
in the air,
the pointed tip wet
with
novocaine.
as the bus moves
down the street
her eyes follow you.
this makes you
roll down
your window and
spit your gum out.
