the dentist ladies

love me, they clean my teeth and smile even when i havent flossed. they are named susie and meg and use codes like "381." they dont judge me for smoking, i guess cause they dont know, and they talk about their children and their latest rented movie. i tell them about california and they say they like my shoes and did i know i broke my teeth? they go around a corner and i get scared that i might die. i wait for them to come back and announce i have a week. but they dont, they just keep smiling, so i do too, with all my teeth.
