Nice! Love the surprise of "grainy, smooth." And those last two lines land the poem so very nicely!

My friends and I used to joke, when someone said "Well, …" and if they paused long enough I'd say, "Gee that's deep!" I had a similar crossover from the subject line to the end of the poem. Nice, and deep!
