All for the love of onions..

[brat_grrl]

Keridwen waxes poetic... sort of.

Today
while sitting, vulnerable
leaned far back
with a big shining light
in my face

Trying
not to flinch while
a metal scraper picks
at my helpless gums, and my
hygienist hums tunelessly to
the golden oldies on the radio

I will
smile happily
knowing that for lunch
I purposely consumed

A Large chili-dog
with extra onions
chili beans
and cheese.
