After this morning’s excellent
and official Dental Cleaning
with Lisa at Prosthodontic Associates
( I wish it was called Good Teeth,
or even, Good Tooth)
and after I listened to Lisa’s
Gentle Flossing Lecture (she is
the best possible dental hygienist)
I wondered if every single thing
is good subject matter for a poem
(and concluded Yes.)
Yes, flossing deserves a poetic form all its own—it goes up and down and deep, but not enough to cause bleeding.
Congrats on elevating The Dross of Floss.
