Three poets on their way to de dentist. Myrna Nieves, Frank Murphy and Robert Roth

Three poets on their way

Each to a different dentist

On the same day

Must be a poem there somewhere

Where are they going on this day?

To the dentist, All three.

Poets they… tooth and nail,

        Diente por diente

They open their mouths 

but can not speak 

Will it be pain or relief?

Drilling, drilling

We all open our mouths 

Hope for the best

No tooth pulling

We can smile again
