dent

awaken,
get up,
bathroom.

Dentist again,
today.
No train.

Back to bed.

Get up,
quarter to six,
Shower.
Clothe.

Kitchen
coffee
let the cat out
make breakfast.

Silent
but for the clock
tick tock

Sit at the table
work on the computer
write these notes.

Alarm, sound of the family
getting up.
First the wife
then the son.

Tinnitus hiss
and feel the tongue on the huge dent in the gums,
left by the wisdom tooth
on it's way out.
