After fitting my new crown, the dentist presented me with the casts he'd had to make of my teeth. A jagged semi-circle of bunched-up, chalky yellow, set in a clear plastic wedge, and second, the lower set, bare.

A disembodied replica of the bone component of my talking, smiling, biting gear, unsettlingly familiar, starkly revealed in this unscheduled preview of the lipless grin.
Christ, a man hands you a thing like that. Is the cosmos trying to communicate?
