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
