frantically i tap
the chair i'm
lying
down in at the dentist's office
and start
to shake.
i kick my legs.
my eyes water,
i want to cry out for
my mommy,
but my mouth is full
of carboard
and gauze.
the dentist has found
my last nerve
apparently.
it's a lighting strike
in my brain.
oh my,
she says. maybe we didn't
inject enough
Novocain
into your pink gums.
let's give it some more time
to get numb,
alright?
