Tiny Little Lip Balm

Two cavities. Filled ‘em up for a couple of Gs (dental insurance doesn’t cover these),

and as I leave, dental hygienist comes right up to me; gives me a free little tube with a cap just in case my lips chap. A nice gift and suggestion,

But its miniscule size left me with a few questions.

Like, why did they make this? How long does it last for? And why are we starting a war with Iran?

The flavor is “mango,” but I don’t really taste it, and if I don’t waste it it may just last a week. And last week was redacted, and Bovino was last year–

oh shit, that was this year? It tastes more like peach! You know I find it hard to focus when the smoke is never ending, and they say that bread and circuses are all that you need.

But now I need a bit more bread to pay for fillings and my clowning makes a killing– Am I the circus?

[So small, so silly!]

Though my right side is smiling, the left side is numb, so I can’t even tell when I put on the balm. And I mean balm like a salve,

not a salvo of bombs dropping onto a grade school. That’s in Iran.
