Molarless

by Matthew Bartlett @ 11:11 am

The taste of blood in my mouth. The first irrevocable physical down-hill step. The yawning gap a foretaste of the yawning grave.

But also: A decay exorcised. A resolution to tend these remaining teeth. A couple of weeks learning empathy for people in physical pain.

If you would like to see some pictures of my tooth, do email!

    when people were still cavemen and all, how did they live w/out dentists and toothbreesh? have dentists only been necessary since the
    invention of the Sweet or did people just live with teeth falling out all the time? aristotle i think claimed that women have fewer teeth than men. conventionally, this is attributed to his neglecting to count his wife’s teeth, but perhaps he did, and the discrepancy is due to misogynous greek dentists…

  3. you too are full of it where does it all come from??

    ? sorry, didn’t mean 2 :-) The bit about aristotle is true, though —true in the sense that i read it somewhere…
