Been struggling with the mouth ulcer <br />In my lower jaw, deep below teeth in the crevice <br />Difficult to reach for with my forefinger <br />To apply any of the tube ointment, got frustrated. <br /> <br />Today I woke up and while brushing my teeth, <br />In front of the bathroom mirror, it came up <br />That once before I had taken a piece of cotton, <br />Applied the medicine to it, and stuck it there. <br /> <br />Went to the drawer I remember I had a cotton ball, <br />Took a piece, applied 'bonjela' we had bought <br />In Singapore last year and felt the green blister <br />Got the protection on right place with the gel. <br /> <br />Realized that everywhere there are easy, effective <br />Alternatives but by pressure of habit, we struggle <br />And perhaps even curse fate, destiny or anyone, <br />Not exercising the choice, ready and lying close by.<br /><br />Daniel Trevelyn Joseph<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/choice-92/
