Dear Helena,
My work is incomplete
without you.
Your minstrel voice which used to sooth
is westward now,
But I remember the spirit you brought
and so do the paitents.
To some, school is a place to socialize and meet new friends,
To others, school is a struggle, that often leads to dead ends.
Some have dreams of becoming an actor,
“I will not numb you”
But next thing I knew
The needle was in
I couldn’t feel my chin!
Extractions, fillings, and drillings
Placing crowns on pearls
Brightening a future
Bracing the serpentine white line
Cleaning away remnants of the past
All just parts of my soon to be dream
We often loathe the thought of that place,
The idea of the buzzing sounds of handpieces,
Nearly drives us to outer space,
But for me,
It is my dream.
The idea that I could permit a change,
Big white and shiny,
The tooth glistens in his mouth
Waiting for a meal.
A chew so graceful,
Helping relieve the hunger
So you do not starve.
And now after work
