things you learn from the dentist's chair
Episode description
‘things you learn in the dentist’s chair’
so much gets stuck under the surface
you think you’re clean until something hits
just the wrong way
then you want to rip it out.
we go on about our daily lives
an accumulation beneath our noses
the smile never shows what is hidden
neither do we hear
what is held under tongue.
it is possible to feign a nap
but regardless the bright light
will roll the eyes and
we feel more naked with a messy mouth
than we do stripping.
saying see you in a few months
seems a bit too much
can’t we rinse the blood
wish good luck
take a bite from something else?
