Wisdom Teeth

Here is sit,
in the midst of the night. The streetlights keep me company, also a cup of pudding and a packet of ice. I am kept awake by jaw pain. The lack of four teeth that used to be. I am eating pudding and drinking a glass of water so to be able to take a large white pill to numb this throbbing. But in this moment I am glad for the pain because I am not asleep and I am writing.
I have so much to write about, but this is a precursor. This is to remind me that there is more to come, but right now, eat pudding and drink water, take the medicine that will ease the pain and allow rest. Rest.
