Dwelling on the negative
can provide a pad
for blastoff—
a kind of laxative
for a wad
of waste—a fricative,
but anal not dental,
a fart
aiding blastoff.
Like taking the yard waste
to the composting site in the fall—
you can dwell on the negative
without sinking into it;
it might make you sad
that summer's past, but it'll fuel new leaf:
as when your dentist
says, This won't hurt a bit,
and she’s leaning on the drill,
yelling BLASTOFF!!!
