Chewing and everything it touches Plate i

i. the temple
You feel it here.
The headache that keeps coming back, often when you wake up.
ii. the jaw joint
But it may start here.
Just in front of the ear, where the jaw works every time you chew.
iii. the teeth
Which connects to the bite.
The way the teeth meet, and the side that works harder.
iv. the neck
And reaches all the way to posture.
Head, jaw, and neck hold each other up.
