Wide eyed girls
– A category?
Awe, it’s when
they squint their lids,
quite different,
I guess?
Normally
they would curve
their eyeballs large,
squish neck and pull head,
with an open mouth
and raised eyebrows.
And the problem is when
they wear sunglasses—
it’s like Mona Lisa
cutting her own lids off
just to lose eyebrows later.
And what about
the men with downward smile?
Normally you would smile upward,
a perfect skateboard leeward.
They give a juvenile scent
suffering from old-age,
inherently jaw fall,
muscly secant,
quite hard to say
when it’s sarcastic.
And their problem?
They laugh,
while smiling—
they just feel like Laughing Buddha,
but ones from Shaolin.
Sheesh—
wide eyed girls
and their downward smile men.
