Pretty good flosser

Home again with clean teeth.  As I sat in the chair, closed eyes, mouth open, I considered what possibilities the day contained.  I found out that I am a pretty good flosser, which, in the land of my birth, Minnesota, is as good as it gets.

In the dentist’s chair

All I have to do is

Close my eyes,

Open my mouth,

Hear how my flossing

Was

Pretty good

Over the last six months.

I consider

The world of teeth

For a brief time,

Return home with teeth

My tongue now finds

Smooth,

Plaque-less.

I return home

With the words

That I

Am a pretty good flosser.

Really I know

The tooth cleaner

Says that

To most everyone.
