Dental

Perhaps the greatest compliment to a dentist
would be to fall asleep in the chair
to show such trust in his skills
that one is so relaxed that
one falls asleep.

Or it could be fatigue.

Today's dental was average la.
Started with a little trepidation
but then it ended quite alright.
And now I'm braced.

Perhaps it's true that when one sense is reduced,
other senses step up to maintain the equilibrium.

I could have sworn I smelt black pepper crab on his gloves.
And I could have sworn I smelt female arousal too.
Perhaps the nurse.
Perhaps.
