Trance On A Dental Chair Poem by NHIEN NGUYEN MD

TRANCE ON A DENTAL CHAIR

Sit on dental chair
Slowly I take in deep breaths
To put me in trance.

Now it's four thirty
I'm one of two last patients
Here for teeth cleaning.

There is no drilling
But there is lot of poking
Gentle voice speaking.

The longer I sit
The more I'm like wet noodle
Spreading on dental chair.

Dentist comes to check
We have brief conversation
Hard to be awake.
