Stray Words
Words get lodged in my teeth,
a dentist has actually extracted a few.
My optometrist
wears her glasses like lingerie,
invitingly, and for a reason
known only to my libido - most sensually.
She goes fishing in my eyes.
with her bright penlight.
Once she stumbled over a word
she had never seen before.
My brain quickly put on its blindfold,
caught unawares.
