TOOTHACHE By Dan Flore III


I am

in agony

fumbling 

through tubes

in the bathroom

looking for

the topical pain killer

I can’t find

it

so I throw

wart cream against

the wall

and when it hits

so does another

sudden rush of pain

AAARGHHH!

I scream

and decide

to go get drunk




Dan Flore III’s writings have appeared in many publications. He is the author of several books, the latest being EVERYTHING MUST GO. (Cajun Mutt Press)
