Dentistry and Reflections

The dentist and Reflections Up there in the continuous darkness of the universe I saw a streak of light... a dying comets last hurrah. Bedroom very dark couldn’t sleep too much death for one night. Got up and read an article that plants speak to each other. “Warning a heavy footed man is coming your way.” “Duck a lawn mower is at large.” Amputated roses and tulips chafes in a vase kept alive for a few days... admire beauty in death agony. Carrots screaming in distress when pulled from soil... good for your health, dieticians says. Everything we like, what we eat are, hurting plants and animals. Which, reminds me I’ve an appointment with my dentist tomorrow, gardener of my glum teeth, he will speak softly as he pulls up out another tooth.
