My Morning Visit 5 Dimensions of Perception

My Morning Visit

The pressure,
the screech and grind
vibrate down
through the jaw bone
while cool liquid squirts,
sloshing over gums
and drooling
from a prickly numb lip.
A whiff of something burning,
the flat taste of metal
accompany the closeup view
of plastic gloved knuckles
and an acoustic
ceiling high above.
Time ticks in slow motion
until I will be free.
