found in translation

I prefer the dentists ~ they interpret silence through big open mouths

mimed the ventriloquist during a prostate exam ~ curled up in doubts

imagining his puppets snickering ~ from the gloves inside their snouts 

at last the doctor spoke ~ this one feels mostly shaggy or thereabouts
