Attack
Emailed apologies with no response
Uncertainty in vials like Novocaine
Contentious stares and plastic smiles
Drenched from the storm with no rain
I lean back in my chair and pull
the little daggers out of my back
Emptiness fills that inadequate hole
As I wait for the next attack...

My Dentist's Revenge
(This is a fictional poem)

The dentist worked on my teeth without any novocaine.
I screamed and screamed because of the pain.
I've been doing something bad because I'm a louse.
My dentist found out that I'm sleeping with his spouse.
She's very sexy and impossible to resist.
I think it's time for me to find a new dentist....

Faith Up High
I can breathe up here, on top of the mountain,
a new found hike,
its vertiginous peak small potatoes,
since faith was restored.
when my boot hit the top,
we'll make a go of it,
the nagging rush of pain
like novocaine wearing off, unlocked. 
  I'm erasing the past,
right off the blackboard of time,
quickly,
like the impatient high school teacher....

Premium Member Taste of Anguish
At the Las Vegas hospital’s emergency ward
In the midnight hour he could not be ignored

Such gut wrenching seeping deep gaping pain
Howling wailing haunting screams for novocaine

Rattling quivering from the corner to the sounds of strife
Shattering confidence I may have had in the lottery of life

Recess Forgot To End
Lined with intention,
filled with giving in,
pretend we never meant
for it
to go further than it did.
Well it did,
they absolutely shook their heads.
It shook so fast it broke in half,
we act like little kids.
This playground grew up quick,
we left our innocence behind.
A thousand needles in the sandbox;
swinging higher than treelines.
We trade diseases for a way 
to alleviate the pain.
Numb our brains like novocaine;
on this playground we will stay!...
