I went to the dentist -
reluctantly, definitely -
and I closed my eyes and
I felt metal against my teeth
as the dentist probed my mouth
and then I heard his words:
"Oh what a deep cavity...
Deep cavity...
Deep cavity"


And I said timidly:
"Come on, doctor...you needn't repeat
those words - I'm frightened enough
just coming here"


"I wasn't repeating,"
said the dentist
precise  in his words
*"Those were echoes you heard"
