Line Gauthier Poet Free verse

Dentist Appointment

Sunk back
almost
comfortable
stretched out
as an afternoon hush
hovers like a warm blanket

Lots of time before
my dentist appointment
feels great to sit incognito
get a bit of needed shuteye
in a corner of the waiting room 

Suddenly 
a different silence stirs
one I can only assume
follows the calling
of my name
as I jump to attention
all eyes are on me

Darn…
Already my turn

M. L. Kiser March 29, 2019 at 8:38 AM Ha, when I fall asleep like that, I am always s bit slow to respond; I am usually dreaming that they've called me; some have gotten so they now come over and tap my shoulder. Well done. Line Gauthier March 29, 2019 at 8:51 AM LOL I guess you hate to waste an opportunity, ML.
