Long Like pulling teeth Poems

anybody in the town.
Every person is a friend to them,
small talk flows like a fast steam,
half the time they...

Have you ever had a friend who you thoroughly enjoyed

You dreamed together...chuckled together...

You cast yourself away into the deep emptiness
Forever where the sun is blackened

Surfing spirits crost the terrible, the great murky abyss,
One Amilius in command, 5 Adams he had planned,
5 colours he'd insist, before the dawn of hist,

Dentist appointments cause me to linger,
Someplace betwixt dread and the blackness,
Fright’s version of despair, 
Wistful and aching with silent prayers,
Silent, silence, soundless – still,
All the reasons, the responses, the requisites,

that I have to say these words,

Friendship is hard

It is like wearing an old sweater some days

The yarn becomes unfrayed

Other days it's like a pair of high heel shoes

Wobbly and crooked is my gait

Some days it seems no matter how hard...

like pulling teeth
i can't wait to get this thing removed

but apparently the pain shows me where it really hurts

phone too expensive
undeliverable mail
line of communication down

beware the water

Where do you feel like eating,
Here, or a trip into town?
A question I'm repeating
Til the minutes to noon count down.

It's never a simple matter.
Surely someone can decide.
For we all desire a platter
Of General Tso's with...
