Behind that door he readies for my oral confession
His implements arrayed in menacing splendor
Sign of his intent to probe past my utmost resistance
In that room are allowed no secrets, no evasions

My past behaviors have left their evidence
The marks hidden from casual acquaintances
But for him my shame will be stripped bare
Laid open to his inspection, his judgment
Until my guilt and penance is pronounced.

Perhaps for me there never was escape
Since first I gave my body up to him
And let him come inside to work his will

And so I sit, and fret, and rue my sins
Of equal weight commission and omission
Until the door swings open to announce:

"The dentist will see you now."
