A LOVER’S SMILE

A LOVER’S SMILE

Is it

smiling knowingly

at the

one panel

naked baby

comics in the paper

or when

“nobody knows it

but you’ve got a

secret smile”

finally makes sense

or even after

every text

every call

every mention

of a name

that sounds

only remotely like theirs

brings a smile to your face?

is it everything and nothing?

good and bad?

pure or tainted?

or is it best left undefined?
