Can I Abdicate the Throne
CAN I ABDICATE THE THRONE
congratulations
your sitting in the dentist chair
the new dentist checks you out
sends you into a whirlwind
when he’s ready to crown you
right there and then
suddenly
as you just suppose
your supposed to say
“ahh”
and the inside of your cheeks
pierced
numb
that’s how you feel
displaced
this is not at all right
your supposed to be home
in your easy chair
thrilling
how the drill digs
in your pockets
if truth be told
and the dark spectacles
cling
to your cheeks
funny
how texting is trippy
as if your fingers
are drooling as well
caffeine
she says
will reduce the medication time
we will see
we
will
see
by the way
feel sorry for me
i do
