Poetry under the influence
Apparently I only write haiku when I’m in the middle of a distasteful medical experience. Last time it was phlebotomy. Today I was having crowns replaced.
I cannot be held responsible for the following two bits of verse because dental anaesthesia was in effect when I composed them.
The taste of tooth dust.
Drilling my visible bones.
Harsh blessing, dentists.China glued to me
Will rattle in my coffin.
What’s the point of it?
Morbid, yet clever, Nils. Thanks for sharing your wit with us!
