Not everyone with a creepy smile
is evil.
It is true: Lips tell more than eyes
yet such smiles may form from memories;
odors and notes of a past, present
or future life
better left forgotten.
Not everyone with a creepy smile
is evil.
Please excuse those who are not.
Please
don’t remind them.
They already know.
And yet they smile.
They have to.
