I am still
in this photograph
almost dead,
with the last smile
a white smile.
That was my passport
some five years ago
for a woman
who wanted my smile
as her pet.
In and out she made it difficult
For the propositions I believed
A smile was sum of
the pride
A smile was equal to how much
I lied.
A smile is a hunchback
that makes me bend
with the pain,
arrived me after forties
with my right arm
for the physician
who avoided deliberately
on with a substitute
grouchy face
for a smile of me.
But I smiled that day
for the woman
who etherized and operated
and made me smile
for a while
for a passport
her ethereal whisper
permanent hypocrisy
pinned up may face
with
An epitome or epithet
the smile slaps on face
annually.
the passport made my face horrible.
