The smile is laughter's deceptive sister curve of the mouth to break a blister when a gentleman receives a womanly consent he bows to the curvature where mouths are bent. If in the romantic films it preceded the kiss in the dramatic ones it succeeded the miss... a mismatch among fluttering hearts, a flicked switch to cause a start, under the halo of a streetlight lamp a cigarette blond would display this stamp lovers would have been more easily connected... tormented souls calmed...smiles unaffected? what of a search for a pleasant mate what could be a more convenient bate but upward turns at ends of a mouth... was common company in the deep south upscale daughters needed no recruiter to win smiles of hired southern suiter but love would hastily be scorned swiftly carted from house to slaughter Big Daddy would not lose his daughter didn't matter what thoughts rang then how pleasantries were expressed... or when standards were raised over what lesser equals could do romance was affected smiles still pervaded the human zoo.
