It had gotten way too painful Too inflamed To stand another minute I fortified myself With two (more) Demerol And set out for WalMart Where I staggered through The aisles in search of those things I would need to relieve The aching swell, Surrounding that broken tooth With antiseptic, antibiotic And a choice of needles. I proceeded to perform A surgery of self In the rear view mirror When I punctured That angry red balloon My mouth half-filled With a gagging outpour Of hot putrid pus And now, When I recall The pool of greenish yellow, swirled with red That I spat onto the pavement I wish that all my maladies Were as simple, a matter |

I dunno, it seems to me a dentist would have been better at least they give you a place to spit. Kethry Here in the midst of my lonely abyss, a single joy I find...your presence in my mind. Unknown |

Ed, I must say that I admire the courage you displayed. You were a big, brave, boy---but also a bit of a bonehead! LOL I may be a nurse, but your descriptive writing almost made me toss my petits fours! tehe Hope you're feeling better! EA |
