Yesterday I went to see
Dr. Michael Donovan Prosthodontist
what is a prosthodontist in the first place
very different from my father’s friend
Milton Turkoff my childhood dentist who seemed
to stick his entire arm into my mouth
a prosthodontist goes to dental school and then
three more years of school. I told him
I was seeing my Chinese MD acupuncturist
after him. They are nearby. She
diagnoses me from looking at my tongue I said.
Dr. Michael Donovan is interested in tongues.
I’d like to learn more he said.
Now he and she will meet next week.
Meanwhile, I asked what he thought
about my tongue. Good he said. Very good.
