they say
that the mona lisa is smiling
when you look into her eyes
but that her smile fades
when you look at her lips.

i've never thought the mona lisa profound,
her face captivating,
her smile
or rather her frown,
beautiful...
frankly
i found her lack of eyebrows
disturbing.
i never liked the way she looked at me
the fact that if you separated her mouth from her eyes
she changes
so drastically.

supposedly
there's something about the way our eyes see
things
that changes her face
depending on where we look
and now that i know this
and have discovered it to be true
i like her more
i feel her forlorn
friendliness
towards me

me and her are the same,
you see.
