I went to the dentist today and met an enemy of communism. It was just me and him on a blue couch that was shaped like teeth.
“I’m here to get dentures”
“aah.” I said, “dentures.”
He brushed his hair from his eyes again and cleared his throat, explaining he was in exile in New York from 1971-1984, but he could return after that, nor did he want to because all the black people that are there now. "it wasn't like that then" we all have our own enemies I guess.
He was called to his appointment, got up and walked away. He didn’t say goodbye or nice to chat, just got up and shuffled along side the nurse.
