Does Dentistry Hold the Answers

I don't have an overbite or an underbite I didn't realise that was interesting Until in a conversation about teeth That I didn't understand Because it didn't apply to me My teeth line up I thought that was most people However I've just spotted myself Misaligning my jaw Making things ache That's probably more baffling And kind of explains the Who of who I am Everything is fine Then I make a huge effort To unfine it Without realising Then it'll all line up again But there's a little part of me Pushing things back out of line Who do you have a word with about that? I'm pondering whether dentistry Has any answers now Not about the teeth Just how do I wire myself into place To stop myself falling out of line Just until such a time As lined up is my natural position Then I realise I've already done that Maybe that's what all my sensible surroundings are
