they are so alike

my mechanic
is just like my dentist,
who
says floss more,
he says you need new
shocks,
maybe you need
a new crown,
he says your transmission
fluid is shot,
your gums are receding
we can fix
that.
when was the last time
you changed your filters?
we have a mouth guard
to wear at
night to keep you
from grinding your teeth,
keep you
from snoring.
you need to change 
your tires, one side
is wearing out.
you need a water pic,
new wiper blades,
a battery
powered toothbrush.
we need to rotate your tires.
maybe an implant here
or there.
how about we rebuild
your carburetor?
cha ching.
