(not us)

—

at the dentist’s office

a place of trepidation

for me

waiting

waiting

waiting

when

snoop dogg’s look-alike

walks in

sits down

seems

high

as a kite

i text

sittin’ with snoop

just chillin’

guess we each have our way

of dealing with the fear

for me it’s gas

for snoop

it’s grass

he texts

probably saying

sittin’ with martha stewart

just cookin’
