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.

This isn’t a taxonomy of faces, but a tease of how quickly people turn tiny expressions into grand identities. The wide eyes, the bent smile—nothing mystical, nothing coded—just features, yet worn like titles. The poem stretches them on purpose, to show how absurd it is to believe the world studies every eyelid twitch and cheek arc. A face should be a face, steady and unaltered, not a public performance adjusted for imagined watchers.
