sleeping with teeth

i've been thinking about time recently. time, duration, longevity. since 1997, i've been sleeping nearly every night without my teeth 7 and 8. some people wear a retainer to bed, i actually took mine out.

since i had my temporary falsies glued to the metal rods poking out of my gums, i've been sleeping with a full set of teeth. it doesn't feel odd at all, but, when i paused to think about how long it's been that i've slept without my teeth (12 years!), it made me re-appreciate the scientific awesomeness of being able to have teeth again.
