at the dentist office,
with my mouth numbed
with Novocain,
my body turned nearly
upside down,
the dentist and her assistant
are going at it.
taking turns to put their
little hands
in my mouth.
it sounds like a small
construction site
going on in there,
the drilling, the jackhammers.
saws and cranes.
pulleys and trucks
backing up.
i swear i could almost hear
the little men wearing
hard hats, asking to take
a lunch break.
