 Contemporary poetry by Dan Donlan


"You have a Dentist appointment!"
"You're new Bridge is ready!"
No not the Brooklyn Bridge
My tooth fell out
$2200, nothing if I want to look like Goofy
Some people look good with missing teeth
Not me!
I am homely enough!
As they were installing, I heard
"Next appointment we can do the Crown!"
$800, if I just want it pulled $160
I am not illegal I pay my own bills
Out of a rapidly depleting retirement fund
"You have a dermatitis appointment this afternoon!"
Like not enough pain for one day
"You like to sunbath allot?"
"I work in the yard!"
"I see allot of pre-cancer on your face.
I need to ice it tomorrow it well start fluffing off."
"Tomorrow is Thanksgiving with the family."
"Oh, and the black thing on your toe?
I need to take a biopsy. I think it may be Cancer."
I'm just learning after my fall to walk with that leg.
Friday I have my Cataract appointment.
I have to have my sight to watch if my toe turns black.
What happened to the day you just took aspirin?
"How old are you?"
"I woke up late seventies but now somewhere in the nineties."
Next they want to check my hearing
"What---?"
