My hair is getting softer.
So instead of feeling like a round file,
Or a rounded floor scrub,
It feels more like a small furball now.

First day of work today.
I arrived with half my face swollen,
From the wisdom tooth op on Monday.
A colleague thought I had mumps.

It is terrible during mealtime,
To have to think twice about what to eat,
Since it hurts to open my mouth.

This problem reminds me of my grandparents,
Who have lost most of their teeth.
How difficult it must be for them to eat.

Everyone: what else is cold and soft,
Other then ice-cream and cold tofu?
