What makes us go back?
Back to… inevitable pain,
to whirling, grinding,
suctioning sounds,
to needles and drool
and ceiling stares?
What makes us go back
and prone ourselves?
(Could it be that ‘laughy’ gas?
No, nice. but can’t be that.)
More like we’re traders-
traders in… reality,
for we know, painfully know,
the dentist drill is far less a foe
than that damn toothache chum!
