- After the Dentist
- May Swenson
-
-
- My left upper
- lip and half
-
- my nose is gone.
- I drink my coffee
-
- on the right from
- a warped cup
-
- whose left lip dips.
- My cigarette's
-
- thick as a finger.
- Somebody else's.
-
- I put lip-
- stick on a cloth-
-
- stuffed doll's
- face that's
-
- surprised when one
- side smiles.
