Fare thee well, my dear wisdom teeth.




Here they are, meeting their public for the last time. Probably the first time as well, since my wisdom teeth don't get out much. Say goodbye, for tomorrow they will be ripped from my mouth.

I am keeping Bottom Left, so I will not be completely desolated. It will help fill the void left by a molar I had extracted while I was at uni. A tragic loss—it suffered sherbet bomb damage and finally succumbed to an abscess. I took that tooth home wrapped in a tissue and put it on top of the piano, but a few weeks later it had mysteriously vanished.

I wanted to finish this post on a somber note, so I found this quote:

Let us not unman each other; part at once; all farewells should be sudden, when forever.
—Lord Byron
