Self-Soothing

Self-soothing

Grind, grind
teeth and groin,
grind your coffee beans.

Grind, grind, grind 
to a singular, perfect powder.

Grind, grind
teeth or groin 
or your gourmet coffee beans.

It's all the same drug.

It's all the same.

It's all the same drug.

It's all the same.

"or your gourmet coffee beans" is 7 syllables

It's not satisfying without rhythm...


P.S. I've never tried to grind coffee with my groin. Maybe I've been doing it wrong.

It's not satisfying without rhythm... I agree, and tried to address it subtly if not effectively.

It's just my musical sensibilities. But, I'm more of a do-er than an explainer. What I had in mind was some kind of coda that brought home the rhythm you had established earlier (which it seemed you were trying to do with syllable count). 

I get this same response from my kids when they're practicing piano and I intrude on their mental space to show them how I think it should be played.   I will leave you to it.
