extraction
the surgeon prepares his instruments
scalpel? check (serrated) forceps? check (from the ice bucket)
fingers scrubbed, elbows pointed outward he approaches his patient and gets to work
such expert deft! what practiced poise! student viewers would surely stare wide-eyed, wondering at his untrembling hands (if said students were actually here)
breath held lip bitten he removes the cat hair from the cream cheese, steps back from the table (kitchen) and allows his onion bagel to recuperate

Owing an apology
I kicked the dog right off the bed late last night
(but animals don’t mind if you’re not polite)
Then I made the kids walk ten miles to school
(’cause seriously, have you seen the prices of fuel?)
I cooked food for me but made none for my spouse
(there was just one onion bagel left in the house)
But I burnt it like I was so terrified of
(oh why must I hurt the ones I truly love?)
