Description

1 Words, as precocious cherubs, demonic despite angelhood, gifted yet flawed, mischievous, willfully intent on havoc, rush at my mouth, a gutter awash in a post-storm overflow, filling it better than my dentist, who, for me, morphed rapidly into an aphorism that hangs around, as they do, that I can reliably call on to perform on cue, distilled, like disinfectant mouthwash, compressed, like a packed tooth, profitable as his fees. As an aphorism, my dentist 'heightens discourse' like pain, producing 'an echo of really curious, indelible power' (Derrida 67). He talks, my dentist, my mouth full, our conversations intensities, the dental chair a couch, a confessional, 'giving ... the trivially obvious the authority of a sentence' (Derrida 67). He wears a bowtie; he's an enigma; he goes on forever, like my visits to him: we've forgotten the beginning and don't know the end. But, being a dentist, he does, indisputably, have 'foundation': he has a fragmentary appearance, 'but also make[s] a sign toward a totality'--it's his fees: via their plenitude I send his children to private schools (Derrida 67). Agitated, imprudent, and impudent, words will not settle down, well-behaved, like a passing mood, like post-dentistry teeth. My mouth, as slipshod container, and the words make an unsatisfactory alliance, an unholy encumbrance.
