dentist in the promenade
sipping
coffee,
reading a book
about
root canals and implants,
i stop
and say hello,
but she looks confused.
it's me,
i tell her.
i was just in yesterday
for a cleaning.
i open my mouth
wide
to show her my teeth,
oh, oh,
she says.
hello, i didn't recognize you.
don't forget to floss,
see you
again
in six months.
