Ode to my 2nd molar! by Adewale Sobowale

So I’d been feeling some pain;

It got to a point

I had to look up for possibilities

of seeing dentists!

As usual,

I procrastinated!

Why would I remove a tooth,

after all, I’m just a minor!

Thoughts of how many

bones

meats

bottle tops

medications

even papers

that molar had assisted

me with

I just couldn’t let go!

It got to a point

I wasn’t able to munch cashew nuts

feeling I was chewing the beloved tooth!

Googling dentists near me,

I found one

Calling him

I booked an appointment

for last Sunday!

Like everything Canadian,

the clinic is just a

WOW!

By my special circumstances,

the doctor informed me

The treatment commenced

with an x-ray of the tooth!

It was then decided,

with my written consent

the molar

had to go!

Losing a part of one’s body

although comfortable

translates

to the imminent

appointment

for all living things!
