Residual Anger

Impacted

I hardly noticed you at first
Clandestine with your company
Until abruptly causing chaos in my brain
Remember when I thought I had a brain tumour?
I rode the bus to A and E
And the guys behind me talked about Viagra

Then we went to see District Nine
I tried to touch your protruding exterior
It was a bit too small to reach
Along my upper right jaw bone
It hadn't fully emerged yet
That was the first time I truly felt your presence

Now they are about to evict you from my mouth
They say that you're impacted, dear Tooth of Wisdom
I have been impacted also


Pulled

I tried to ignore the parallel
between my tooth and you
It lay dormant until we collided
Then erupted into a fiery hell
That disappeared the moment it was pulled
The opposite of the Tooth Fairy
I suspect you are a Tooth Demon
Instead of a gold coin
You left a gaping hole
I would like to please know
Whether there are any more like you?
Intent to inflict their fiery hell.
You see, I have three wisdom teeth to go.
