Why Must They Appear Bright?

Why must they have
Big flashy grins

These real estate agents
And other professionals

And why are they always smiling

Woman is looking
For a job
Smiling at her computer
On this site
I am looking at

You will see nothing
Except my dull
Plain
Emotionless face

I must hide
The Tao

Maybe I will smile
Now and then

But I will not
Allow it to be captured
By some camera

"Look Proud"
I was told
At my college graduation

The man of Tao
Wears plan clothes
And keeps the jewel
Hidden in his heart
